Oufly2 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 So I'm new here, posted two new threads several hours ago and they never showed up. what gives? No E-mails, no nothing. Quote
Oufly2 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 That one seemed t work, go figure. Quote
dockbox Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 I dont know, i just tried to list my M4 with collapsible stock for sale here and I don't know what happened to the thread. Quote
Wrinkles Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 A moderator needs to approve it. I 'm not sure how long you have to be here before the probation ends. I looked in the rules/FAQs but didn't see an answer. Maybe someday i will learn the secret handshake. I have two threads awaiting approval. One is w week old... Quote
dockbox Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 My join date is 2010? Almost 2 years is a significant probation period. Quote
Oufly2 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 So why did this thread go through, makes not much sense? I tried my original post again and it didn't go through. Quote
Wrinkles Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 My join date is 2010? Almost 2 years is a significant probation period. Two years and seven posts. Maybe it's a contribution thing? Quote
Wrinkles Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 This is only a test. My threads needed approval from a mod and now it looks like my posts do as well. What gives? If this shows up, can somebody, anybody, help explain the rules to me? I'm not seeing anything in the FAQs about this. Thanks. Quote
Wrinkles Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Ha! That one went through automatically. Go figure. Quote
crofton Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 So I'm new here, posted two new threads several hours ago and they never showed up. what gives? No E-mails, no nothing. In my case, if I include a link, it is intercepted and never sees the light of day. Might be the combination of the # of posts and length of time on the board. Quote
Wrinkles Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Hmmm, i did try to post photos. I thought maybe it was too big so I tried to repost a thumbnail but that didn't work either. Maybe that is it...can't post photos until your in the cool guy club.?. Quote
Hookster Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I have a post or two under my belt and I've been having problems about half the time when I try to post a link.... even if it's just a link to a past thread......never used to be an issue Quote
KB Fab Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I just had the same problem a couple of days ago. I started a thread and put in a link to the Benelli site.....never made it to the forum. Probably some BS filter. As long as you upload images and refrain from hyperlinking you should be fine. (roll eyes) Quote
Wrinkles Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I see some folks posting photos so I'm still confused as to why mine didn't go through. The photos are hosted on photobucket. Is that the issue? Pretty frustrating when you have something to add or questions that need explaining... Quote
LI-Shooter Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 My new posts show right away. Replies to posts are waiting approval. (really posting to see if it's all of them or just the last thread I tried to reply in) (ETA: Went right through… that's even more confusing to me) Quote
StrangerDanger Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I think the issue is if you use the icon bar above to add pictures. I type in the [ img ] [ / img ] tag manually and just copy and paste the URL in. If I click to add a picture, and it displays the picture here in the text box, it gets sent to moderator heck and never gets posted. I host my pictures on photobucket rather than using the annoying hosting service here. The pictures are too small and drive me insane when I'm viewing the site from my eyephone. Quote

Thats strange because I did not use the photo link, just copied and pasted the direct link from photo bucket. It doesn't seem to want to work for me. Quote
Oufly2 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 As an owner of a M4 and R1 it is sad to see that this site makes no sense. If anyone is intersted I figured out the R1 bipod issue e-mail me for pictures and directions. Quote
Oufly2 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Very sad and explanation sounds about right! R1 bipod solved E-mail me for details Quote
Sunrisef150 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I was wondering the same thing. Two days ago posted up for sale my benelli m4 factory full length mag tube and have still yet to see the post get approved and posted. I guess I'll just try again and again till up pops up. Quote

LOL, it certainly is there now, actually two times. Quote
Sunrisef150 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 LOL, it certainly is there now, actually two times. Yeah I posted it without the picture links. And then went back and was hit reply to add pics to a separate post and for some reason it edited the main post instead. It added pics and removed text. Went back and edited the main post and put the info back in and then it looks like it saved it without any info at all. And now I don't see and edit button for that post. So just made a new one. It seems like I can post without any links or photos and it will work. Then I have to go back in and edit the post to add images and links. I haven't tried to reply to that second post as I don't want it to edit it again. Serious issues with these forums. Quote
Sunrisef150 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Well now it looks like both threads I posted are blank. I guess thats why this forum lacks people. They are probably sick of posts not working and just don't come here anymore. Quote

It's frustrating to peck out a long post only to have it disappear into cyberspace. Quote
