The Tutorials and Tips section of the forum differs from other areas, because threads posted here must first be approved by the staff.

Please be patient.

A moderator team reviews submissions, and approves at intervals.

If it is still absent in a week, ask again.

I've been wondering the same. I posted in Tutorial & Tips more than 8 hours ago and still can't find it.

Is there a way to check the status? I'm not even sure if my post was successfully submitted or not.

Thanks.

I posted one a while back, and thought that I would get a subscription notice or some sort of response when it was approved...That wasn't the case. I found it by searching for it a couple of days later.

We'll typically add a reply to your thread stating that it was approved. If you subscribe to your threads, you should get a notification.

We used to have an automated system for notifying people of thread actions (move/approve/close/etc), but it was disabled due to server issues methinks.

I check the queue usually every other day for tutorials. Sometimes there are a lot of posts, though, so it might not all be completed at once.

It's kpkeerthi's. I think I'll go through the queue in about an hour or so after I make some delicious grilled cheese. :D

Two things have happened in the past hour:

Tutorials & Tips queue is now empty. Yay! (3-day backlog, sorry for those who were waiting.)
I discovered that grilled cheese is much better cooked on a bigger frying pan. Much more even and tastier. Bacon bits top it off for a delicious quick dinner.
