I can't post here?

[Vaskerville]

I can't respond to threads...can I start a new thread?

(Hence, this is a test).

Perhaps it's a thing for new registrees? As, I've just registered a new user name...but my posts dont' show up immediately?

This is disorienting...but I understand if it's a way to reduce forum spam.

Huh, so...some forums (Echo Lounge) there is a delay for the post to appear? In this forum, it shows up immediately. Hmmm...

Really? kinda kewl, that. Kudos to whomever thought that up (and even more to whoever actually implemented it). Part of the VBulletin code, I s'pose?

I'd have been lost to answer; kinda figured maybe he should look for a transparent caching proxy somewhere upstream.....

When I was originally posting, it was a link to somebodys website - nothing bad or creepy in the url (wordofwaves). Anyways, it's a good feature especially for first time posters (possible spammers).

I hope that means one or the other, or in between?

'Cuz if you've found a way to be 2 places at once, I'd sure like to know what it is ... 😃

While I'm in one I'm thinking of the other. 😉

And vice versa....
