Why is my question deleted?

Deleted and not being posted are different things. New members may need to wait a day or two.

Well, I type my question, I click the submit button, and wait a week.

Then I type my question again, click the submit button again, and wait another week.

Then I look in "My Topics" and nothing there.

I'd be hard pressed to understand that my questions are not being posted, since you saw this one.

It appears they are blocked, deleted, or moved.

Can someone in Admin take a look please?

This question?

Your OP is dated Feb 19, but I can attest that it hasn't been here that long. I think it just showed up within the past 24 hrs because I look at all recent posts every day, oft times mulitple times, and I just saw it.

I suspect that it's what John and Bill said, first posts are screened and there is probably a hold-up in the process. It's a mystery who actually moderates this board, but I'm sure they have many other duties.
