Is this some new glitch? It's been a long time since I was a newbie around here. BTW, I haven't made any changes to my profile or otherwise changed my behavior on FT. Many hours ago I started a totally appropriate new thread in the DL forum, but I've made other posts since then without any problems.
ADDED: This one obviously posted fine, in fact with no problems on the first attempt.
ADDED AGAIN: I think the post was in the "Delta Airlines 50% MQM Bonus" thread that's received at least a half dozen posts today. Now I see the post there and if there was a moderator in the DL forum, the moderator seems to be gone now. Maybe it's a false alarm, but I did see the "moderator must approve......." popup gray oblong window with the post not appearing.
Yes, it can happen on the rare occasion. I recently approved a post from
SanDiego1K that got sent to the moderation queue. Seriously. It does happen, but very rarely. And it can occasionally happen when one responds to a post that has been approved - and they
both get sent to the moderation queue.
