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!!

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

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

**aysiu** · February 26th, 2006

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.

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.......

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
