Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion What happened to my posts?

On my profile page it only links to two (including this one), but under my username, on the site proper, it says I have five?

If this is a technical issue or something on my end more suited to a PM please let me know. Apparently there's some glitch in the system with a flashing message symbol, so maybe there's something up with the reply blanks too...?

How many posts have you actually made? I mean, is it simply that the number 5 is wrong (which would be a minor problem) or is it that you've made 3 other posts which have disappeared (which would be a major problem)?

ETA: ooh look, I've made 1000. That's plausible, actually...

The site now has a new user moderation feature as I understand it. Your posts may be stuck in an approval queue, or may have been deleted if they contained external links, the early use of which can be a red flag for spam. Welcome. (From my phone)

Thank you for the welcome. @CollinsMum: I know I've made five, counting the one up top, six counting this one; I think the others must either be stuck in the "approval queue" as @lucounu pointed out.

I hope that they get approved, as IMHO there wasn't any sp@mmy content or even web links; the first was just an intro about me, in the "General Discussion" forum, while the other two were in the "Resources" and "Learning Environment" sections, respectively, inquiring about info for GT/2E adults and college students. The first of mine that showed up is my reply to the thread about SFF for middle-schoolers. I've spent some time on forum sites before, so I don't want to double-post if the others show up. Just wondering if there are technical difficulties or if it's just a matter of time.

Since these ones have appeared, it sounds as though there may have been an oversight concerning your earlier posts, if they are in the moderation queue; and if they're not, then something even odder has happened. Either way, probably your best bet is to PM Mark and see if he can fix it. Hope you have a smoother experience here from now on!
