     I've double posted several times recently because after waiting for several hours at time, my post still hasn't shown up.

    A feature I would LOVE to see is a "your posts in queue" feature, possibly as a link under "my posts." I have had a few posts that did get lost, and it would be nice to have a way to confirm whether or not my post is lost, or just still waiting to be read by a moderator. If something like this already exists, where could I find it?

    Thanks for all the great work and these terrific forums! They've saved me from giving up on projects many times, and the community is fantastic!

    I'd agree with this even though my posts are immediate now. Shouldn't be too hard to do I'd imagine. Have a label that is updated on post submit and they updated when an admin approves the post.

    Thank you for the compliment!

    I can remember back to when I had to wait for posts to be moderated - such a view would have been useful.

    Don't forget to click "Mark as Answer" on the post that helped you.
    This credits that member, earns you a point and marks your thread as Resolved so we will all know you have been helped.

    TATWORTH:
    I can remember back to when I had to wait for posts to be moderated - such a view would have been useful.

    Some of us with unmoderated status still are moderated from time to time.

    Example:  if I begin a new thread with several links (even when every one of those links is internal to forums.asp.net), then the new thread may end up in moderation.  Likewise, from time to time and for reasons that are absolutely mysterious to me, a new thread of mine may have to pass through moderation.

    Ergo, even for those of us not normally moderated because we've earned that privilege, tcreynolds suggestion for the queue feature is something that I would very much appreciate.

    @ tcreynolds:  tmorton has stated that a post may take up to two hours to leave moderation.  You will get an e-mail notice when your post is either approved or rejected.  If you do have to wait much longer than two hours, you might want to let Terri know here in this forum.  First, however, you might want to check What's New to see whether maintenance is happening.  BTW, if you contribute frequently, it will not be that long until you too get unmoderated status.
