My posts are continuing to disappear.

You are corrrect, this forum system is a MESS. As another user, an ACP and a Mod, not an Employee, of these forums and someone that comes here a lot to help other users I feel your pain and sympathize.

With the old system there was a Mod Queue that listed all Moderated posts and your post would say Being Moderated. Once a Mod saw it in the mod queue, read it, found nothing wrong with it he/she would Approve it and it would get posted to the forum and you would be notified of it being approved.

Now I have no idea where moderated post go, who looks at them and approves or rejects them. It is a Mystery that only certain, not all, Staff member know and No moderator is involved.

Yes, my posts did disappear. They may have _reappeared_ recently but they could not be found when I first posted this.

I'm actually not a forum newbie but I guess all of that was reset in the "upgrade" that happened recently? And if that's the issue, perhaps a message indicting that my posts are in a moderation queue would be a logical thing to have? Many other forums do this. But here the posts are just missing until they get approved.

Yeah, I know that, but it's still something that Adobe is using and, like everything else Adobe does, it is extremely frustrating.

I've had a pretty negative tone through all this and I apologize for that. Typically when I come here I'm already frustrated with one piece of Adobe software or another and the forum changeover happened to coincide with me trying to get help with some issues I was having. Some of my posts were lost and promising-looking threads from the old forums always redirect to the new forum homepage now. I experienced a number of issues with the forums at first, including my posts seeming to disappear without explanation. At first I thought they weren't being posted but I see now it was the moderation queue. I feel like it could have been handled better but it's easy for me to say that when I don't know what all the challenges were. Anyway, I hope you'll forgive my attitude and I try to do better.
