Senior,
Got you added. I approved your post less than two hours after posting. That's not bad for volunteer mods.
That is in place to prevent spam. Which for some reason has been an ongoing problem on this forum. The approve posts feature has been very useful in keeping spam off the forum pages.
Any time you need to view something that you posted, just click on your own name and then hit "view all posts by" or " view all threads started by"
And all of your posts appear.
Welcome to the forum and welcome to the squirrel contest!
