I've had this happen before and am getting really frustrated.  I post something and get a message when submitted that it is awaiting a moderator.  Either there is no moderator or they aren't doing the job or not very promptly.  Everytime I have waited for the post to be moderated, it never shows up.  If there is a moderator, it should be posted somewhere how long you have to wait for this and what causes a post to get this response.

Great question, Jane. I am a moderator and my answers regularly disappear to await moderation. I never see them again.

<p>To that point, Victor, I received an email that you answered my post from earlier today. I logged in to thank you and respond and voila, your response in not there. When I hunt for it, I see this the attached screenshot. 55 years ago! Wow, I didn't know you had perfected time travel?</p>

Hey all, I have made some improvements and changes here. My hope is that it resolves these strange issues that have cropped up. I'll be keeping an eye on things and evaluating, but please share if you see other issues.

Apparently Rob is also a time traveler.

I've seen that on posts too before and I believe it was the same - 55 years.

Some of us would like being 55 years younger! 🙂

Count me in for that!

I also tried reporting this issue by emailing the contact shown if you go to 'About' in this forum's footer: notify@connect.formidableforms.com. This email bounced. Pretty lame.

I let Steve Wells know.

Steve Wells updated the forum software. Hopefully, we'll see an improvement.

Well the moderator email still bounces.

Victor Font Staff replied 4 weeks ago

The updates didn't fix anything. I just responded to a post, the answer is gone, and the summary says I answered 55-years ago.

Maybe it's written in COBOL and has trouble with dates? /s

I put up a post 3-4 days ago regarding generating a formatted PDF, not a dump of an entry. It's vanished - not in the list of My questions, not anywhere else. Makes using the Community pretty useless even when they'd like to be helpful.

Grrr.
