Just popping in to say hi!

I tried to post in networking and got a message to say a forum moderator had to approve my post. But its been a few days now and I've heard nothing and can't see my post.

Was hoping someone could let me know whats what.

Welcome to LQ.

I had a look and only see this post. I have no idea what may have happened to your first post. I would suggest you try again with your first post/question.

Thanks, I was thinking the same so I typed another post, pasted my logs again and tried posting it.

Unfortunately the same thing happened.

I guess I'll have to wait for the Networking moderator to approve my post

Some post are flagged for mod control panel and await for the forums mod to approve. I view my panel daily and most mods do. Patience!

Hi and welcome to LQ. Yes, 'patience' (Internet Forum -volunteers- have to 'deal' with a lot of spam/etc and strange posts like "How to steal RHEL5? &wrt krnl4hmwk")

The 'suggested path' for new members is: a post on the "Intro" forum
(I'd add a bit more to "Hi", like Linux experience/interests/goals & PC/distro)

Maybe this could be moved (by Mod *volunteer*!) to "Intro" forum [edit:done! Cool!]
(esp. IF you add/post a -tiny bit- of a "Hello. My PC/distro is ...; I've used ... for ...; I want to ...")

Anyway, Best Wishes always! p.s. have a glance at my current favorite LQhowto

edit/update/p.s. I see your VPN-drop question has appeared! Looks good, except the '4letter word' ?may? have caused it to be temp blocked (LQ is a uniquely G-rated/polite site! You can use Edit if you want.) (I also noticed that the Network Forum only has 2 Mods, but that may not be how Mod@LQ works)

Welcome to LQ. Your post was approved earlier today. Thanks for the patience.

Thanks for the welcome guys, my intention wasn't to come across as impatient, I logged into my console and couldn't see any mention of a pending post. I wasn't sure if it actually got submitted or not.

Regardless, thanks for the help.

I've moderated a forum in the past, I know the time and effort the volunteers need to invest to keep a forum maintained. Hats off to everyone who contributes!

Greetings Matthew. \o

Hello and welcome to the forum and thank you.
