Just added the entry ‘How skilled at CSS/HTML/JQUERY/PHP/SQL do you have to be, to be employable?’ to the General forum. Since it was my first post it had to be approved. Couple minutes later it was up so i visited it, saw something wrong and made an edit. Now the post appears blank… i.e it still appears in the forum listing but when you access it, there is nothing on the page.
Hi, TheSwift, and welcome to the forums. 
Your post having to wait for approval had nothing to do with you being a new member, and everything to do with the forum software being on its last legs, I’m afraid. 
You’re not alone - see this thread for further explanation: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?1214642-Approved-posts
I think if a post is auto-modded, approved, then edited, it gets auto-modded again. Sorry. I know it’s a pain, but we shouldn’t have to put up with it for much longer (and I’ve approved your post again).
Awesome, thanks for the quick reply
