Hi, I spent the time putting together my first howto and posted it a day ago now,.. still nothing... emailed poofyhairguy and got a standard response saying the admin has to approve it.

Is this normal? How long does this normally take?

And don't tell me it's because everyones out pubbing/clubbing on a saturday night cos I won't believe it!! :twisted:

Are you saying howto's aren't just a "normal" post with the words "HowTo" as an identifier? Just wondering cos then I should probably send in the one on my signature.

All posts are moderated in that forum so as not to fill it with junk - so you have to wait for a mod to approve it.

btw I can't see anything in your sig?

There is a problem with the control panel that we use to approve these posts at the moment.
I'm sure it will be fixed soon :)

[zi99y]

that explains it, thanks Manicka!

This doesn't show up on my signature?

oh, actually I think I've disabled sigs in my profile... whoops!

[aysiu]

Just for the record, I've posted about three or four HowTos, and they've never taken longer than two days to get approved.

I think that's what ordinarily happens.

[zi99y]

ffs. Is it fixed yet, I keep checking and have posted again in case it got lost - nothing! Not a dicky bird

Maybe I should just post it in a normal forum and done with it.......

[zi99y]

My mistake, it got posted - but ignored and went straight to the 3rd page... duh!

I've noticed this happen with other peoples efforts which is a real shame:cry:

There's always the Ubuntu wiki to post things on, if you want to help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/

More permanent than the fast-moving HowTo forum here, and it's easier to keep updated & for other people to contribute.

Or post in both, but provide a link in your first post to the wiki article you've written, for maximum possible feedback!

coud U clarify me some of this. When I've written a guide I just post it here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=128873
and that was it.
I don't get it what kind of approval U all talking about??

Not to worry! Most likely, the archive team will catch it and put your howto on the archive - so that everyone will be able to get to it at any time, and it won't be on the 3rd page. :D They're pretty good about catching howtos and giving them a stable home.

Zippy forward it on over to one of us on Team Archival (fka Team Bahamut), we will get it on to the Archive (http://doc.gwos.org). Our QA guys will even test it before we get it up there.

=) all is well.
