New forums members are part of a "trial" group whose posts are kept invisible until moderator approved as part of spambot control. After a certain number of approved posts, you will be promoted to a full member with full posting privileges, although the number seems to vary. I check each forum section twice daily to see if there are any pending posts but posts in old threads (such as your first three posts) won't show up and I have to manually search for them, which is why I didn't see them until you posted this thread. For any issues with your posts not showing up after a certain period of time, don't hesitate to message myself, Rusty, or presure2 and we can get it taken care of for you.
