Posts now require approval ?

Hard to say, I'm not directly involved in any investigation. Our version of VB is a tad out of date, so maybe an update would be worth a try since nothing's really lost if it doesn't provide a cure.

There's a point where your regular respondents just stop bothering to respond to questions and this forum will die as a result. It wouldn't suprise me if we've already reached that point because I certainly can't be bother responding if every time posts get "unapproved".

It must be something user or platform specific, because this just doesn't happen to me (it's only happened once a few weeks ago).

I don't know what I'm accidentally doing right, but it's obviously possible for the forum to work properly, which makes it much more frustrating that it isn't working for others.

And without a lot of great users who are no longer posting as much, a lot of people seeking help are going to be given fewer and wronger answers.

I'd be quite interested in understanding what the point of the forum is to it's sponsors in the first place, if they don't care that it's unravelling.

And also what the users who are leaving think I can do to support them.

My last post required approval, which was granted, but I did not receive notification by email once approved, I have done nothing with my settings, can a Mod give a reason why this might be. Thanks.

Interesting that my posts this morning in the Take a Break - for the less serious! thread have both gone straight to unapproved, while my posts elsewhere haven't.

I don't normally post there regularly.

I have only had one other post unapproved in the last few months.

Got this today - is there perhaps a filthy language filter?Screenshot_20220319-102053~2.png

I can see that now - but my humourous reply to that also got 'unapproved'.

[boletus]

Post unapproved again.

[boletus]

Unapproved post again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again...

Just send me a Personal Message if you don't want to talk openly about it.
