    Default "hidden" posts - enhancement idea

    Since I'm still "junior", all of my posts vanish instantly when I post them.

    Might there be some setting to have these post displayed "for me only" until they have been approved? At least I would SEE that I indeed DID post anything and it's not my browser that ate the content.

    Just again - typed the text, did some proof reading and a few corrections, clicked "submit".

    After reading some other posts, I came back to the section and didn't find my post. Do I look at the wrong place? Did I post in the wrong section? Oh, yess - the profile will list my latest posts and where they have been posted. But no. Not there.

    Now, am I confused? Did I miss the "submit"? Something wrong with my browser? Ah - still "Junior" status. I have to wait for a moderator to get noted about what I certainly did wrong and had no chance to correct on my own. Not visible = no chance to edit = more likely to get a penalty. Out of luck. :-(

    But if there would be some setting to not hide it for all but "for all but me (with a hint)" then I could increase my chances to get out of "junior" one day...

    Yes, as a Junior Member, posts are Moderated by the system and hidden till a Moderator Approves your post. Junior Member is a probation stage till you reach Member status, so you are doing it right but ONLY post it once.
    You will soon become a member and Moderation should slow down but make sure you don't start a sentence with a Thank you when replying with information or details about the product.
    Can't see a link/attachment? Don't post asking why. Just 'Like' the post & hit F5:
    THE LIKE BUTTON IS NOW IN THE BOTTOM LEFT-hand CORNER - If you can't see the like button, then you're an Inactive Member
    Posts serving no purpose like thanks or to ask about links go to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] or are deleted, it's GPS Power policy.
