[SOLVED]Does my NewPost really disappear when I select Save?

Post by splatt » 2015/07/01 21:20:54

I have a question that I was posting -- and as my first post I was going to try and be careful:
Save;
Preview;
THEN Post
However, after I selected "Save" (and confirmed that I only needed to save the Subject and message contents), the post is gone? ...
Surely there is a place I can go and find my "saved" post. Can someone tell me where this secret passageway is to a poor apparently sight impaired person? I've already fumbled around and can't seem to find my way.

The first few posts are moderated, because spammers ruin it for everyone--does ANYONE ever click on a forum spam post about kitchen equipment?

So, it doesn't disappear, it went into a moderation queue.

When you hit the button labeled "Save Draft" it goes into your drafts folder which is in the User Control Panel, on the Overview tab, select Manage Drafts and you will see it there.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
