Hi there. I've tried twice to post as a brand-noob but have been ignored. Is it because I included a link? Testing Testing?

Anybody out there?
Thanks

Possibly. While including personal info such as email address, phone numbers, or names on
other sites is discouraged (for your protection) due to the fact that the whole world can then
see it, links promoting personal websites are not allowed. So I am not sure what was rejected,
or on what basis, but it seems you did eventually find a winning combination. Congratulations!

Try filling out your profile page there might be a place there you can add your link. Mebbe they make ya wait a while.

You see that I've managed to sneak a link at the foot of my posts.

Welcome!

Not sure if admin deleted other posts you may have made, but your profile says you only made 2 total posts so far. This one, and the exact same one as this one.

Were there other posts you made that were deleted?

Welcome!

I think what you experienced is the "waiting period" and everyone here goes through it :)

When a new thread (such as this one) is made and you hit "post" it goes into "pending approval" mode. The post wont show up publicly until a site mode approves and allows it through. The site mods are volunteers and therefore the length of time from creating a thread to seeing it publicly appear can vary. It sounds like that is what you experienced.

On the other hand, when a thread is posted publicly and someone replies to it, that reply will post and be seen right away.
You might have noticed that when you posted this reply:
Love the avatar. :) Thanks for the welcome!

There could be times when the mods don't approve of something to post publicly...
but what do I know about that? Not much, I'm just a member. Except, maybe like already shared:
links promoting personal websites are not allowed. So I am not sure what was rejected,
or on what basis, but it seems you did eventually find a winning combination. Congratulations!
What I'm trying to say is just give your new threads some time, and if you don't see it after a day or two and have questions/concerns about it, then reach out.

In the mean time, feel free to browse the forums and join in the conversations.

Be blessed!

ah oh right but I am not sure it had to be.
Outside links are quite all right when showing a source, like if you quote something from gotquestions
while answering someomne else, for instance, and that is actually required so as to not plagiarize,
whereas links promoting a book written by the poster or promoting a personal website? Erm, not so much.
But any link redirecting to elsewhere on this site is perfectly acceptable...


:D
