A question

[Alaric]

Quck question, if I may. A post I wrote for Red Carpet went from "waiting for approval" to "Unapproved". May I ask why that is so? It certainly wasn't a spam post, and I don't think I violated any forum rules. If I made an error with my post I would appreciate knowing, so I can avoid such in the future. Thank you for your time.

I can only guess, not being deep into the administrative end of things, but it may have been a "time out" of sorts, ran down the clock before a relevant mod approved it. I've been on travel for over a week until yesterdays, and I mainly work in the DIY and Digital part. I'll go see what I can do...

Is this the post that didn't get approved?

It may have been due to not logging into the forum and being active. The new spam controls in place flag posts from accounts that are not active or haven't been used in a while. I've learned that from fixing images and links in the DIY section posts. It's been a year of trying to recover as much from photobucket as I could, fixing broken php4 links, recovering images from imgur, and other sources. The default is now set to upload any photo you post to the forum now and we no longer encourage external photo hosting. To preserve all the information this forum has created over the last 2 decades I've been promoting photo uploads to the forum. This will keep posts from losing images that really made the stories shared here something to read, learn, and enjoy.

Glad to have you back around. As the forum got upgraded and the supporting pieces underneath upgraded (Operating System, DNS, database, mail server, web server, etc) more people have been coming back to the forum.
