Hi I am one of the moderators here and just approved this post of yours. Over 99% of message board and Q&A posts are approved. Most not approved because they are duplicates or incomplete. If we withhold a post for some reason we email the poster to let them know what the problem was. Paste their post back to them so it can be fixed and resubmitted for approval. The only time we cant notify the poster is if their profile is marked private. I suggest you try submitting a message board post and email it to me also. With the time you posted it too. Sometimes the message board moves SO fast that we approve over 25 post in less than a hour. So your post may be their lost in the list. Good to have you onboard and we will be happy to approve your message board posts. Bob Hal;ler one of the moderator team.

Barbara, I looked on the message board and found two of your posts. Have you looked at the previous pages? As Bob says, sometimes they go pretty fast, and your post won't be on the first page of the message board, but if you click on 'click here for the previous 25 messages' you'll find it. I found one of yours back 3 or 4 pages.
