Why don't my posts show up on the forum?

There could be various reasons for this but the most likely ones that most often show up are:

 1.  You have replied to a post via email instead of via the forum. 

One incorrect method of posting is to reply to an email notification of someone else's post via email.  For the forums you have subscribed to, everytime someone posts you should receive an email with the title and content of the post in the email.  It is incorrect to click "reply" in your email program and reply to the post that way.  This will not result in a successful post (nothing will get posted and you will lose your post).  The proper way of responding to the post that arrives by email is to go out on the forum and respond to it.  The quickest way to do this is to click on the blue, title of the of the email (which is the title of the post - e.g. in the example below "Re: Toddler Yoga - October Course" is the title).  This title is actually a link to the post's web page and it will redirect you to that page.  Once there just hit "reply" button to reply to the post.

2.  Your post has been moderated.

Normally, all posts are unmoderated unless there is a reason for the administrator to moderate them.  The administrator can set a user's posts as "moderated" if there has been abuse, or incorrect usage of the forums.  If your post is moderated it will go to the administrator first for his approval before being posted.

3.  The post did not meet criteria for posting

There are not a lot of criteria, but for example one criteria is that any photos attached to a post must not be over .5mb in size. 

 

If you have posts that don't get through or you have any questions, just let me know,
