Just click on PhilG in the title bar of any thread. Or you can PM me. I'd be glad to help.

Hi there,

I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place, but I can't seem to find any other way of contacting the administrator.
I've just started posting on the forums (although I joined Taxi back in August).
When I tried to submit a couple of posts yesterday, I got a message saying that they needed to be approved by a moderator. Since then my posts haven't appeared, but posts from other people have appeared on the forums.
I'm not sure if I have to make a certain amount of posts before they don't need to be moderated, or if I've done something wrong and my posts haven't been accepted.

I've clicked on both 'PhilG' and 'admin', but I can't find a way of sending a PM to find out this information.

Many thanks in advance, and apologies again if I've posted this in the wrong place.

Pete.

Many thanks, Phil!

A PM option has also now appeared (next to the 'profile' and 'www' options underneath other people's posts), which wasn't there before.

Cheers,
Pete.

Hi all,
For the newcomer to the forum, there is a delay in being able to post (especially if your first posts are over the weekend), and here's why.
In order for us to keep the forum as spam free as possible, there are a few things that happen.
First you sign up and get a user name and password. You'll get an email that reads the moderator will approve you shortly. This is not an automated service to be approved. If it were, spam would be a serious problem. For the same reason, your first posts have to be moderated. Which again is not automated. After the first posts are moderated again to make sure it's not spambots in action, then you're free to post at will.
I hope that this helps explain things a bit.
Phil
you can also email me at phil(at) Taxi(dot) com.

Thanks so much, Phil.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense, and I appreciate you explaining it.

I look forward to joining in and making some new friends on here.

Pete.
