    Hi all

    I posted a question 5 hours ago and it is still showing it has not been posted as it is waiting to be verified by a moderator still. Is this normal?
    Thanks

    Nick

    There is only a single moderator still visibly active on this forum, down sharply from when I joined, so wait times can be quite long.

    I think it took about a week until I could post links. I really think internal links to priuschat.com should be allowed for all, but... oh, well.

    Edit: It took 4 or 5 days. When you're waiting, it feels like a long time. But there are only so many moderators, so the wait is understandable.

    As @fuzzy1 observed, we just have one moderator these days. And he is not an emplyee; he does have a life of his own. I'm constantly amazed at how responsive he is given the circumstances. I see that you have 5 posts now. IIRC, that's the threshold for not needing moderation.

    Moderation isn't based on time. It's number of posts. Well, there might be a time factor in there that I don't know about.
