I have a query about a problem in a bbPress forum. I’m not the webmaster, just a user, and therefore I don’t have information on the WP version nor the bbPress version. I’m trying to guide the webmaster, and hopefully that info will become available.

Here’s the forum, split into postings by Date and Section:

The Forum

As a user, I posted on the forum a few days ago, in the General Section (UK Boats in the EU – VAT) but I can’t find my post – it appears to have disappeared. I asked the webmaster in case there was a bug, but he replied, with the following url, and said he could see it, and there wasn’t a problem:

https://www.nauticatassociation.co.uk/forums/search/VAT/

Going by the dates in this url:

The Forum

There hasn’t been any activity on the forum for 6 days (according to the view I’m seeing), despite my post.

Any information on the problem and why can’t I see my post in the relevant section (or at all) would be really helpful. I’ve tried different browsers, and can’t raise my original post via the main forum index page.

With more information, I can go back to the webmaster and perhaps we can solve the issue. I’m using Safari and Chrome on a Mac.

Many thanks in advance.

At a guess – as most of your links don’t work without being logged in and the search one produces lots of posts, but you don’t state which one it is – I’d suggest that your post is pending moderation.

That would make it visible to the keymaster, but not to you.

suggest he looks in

dashboard>topics or replies – and sees what the status of you post is.

Thanks, Robin

It’s not pending moderation, as it’s already been visible to another forum member, who replied to me via the messaging service (rather than on the forum).

I can’t understand why someone else can see my post, and I can’t.

I did ask the webmaster, and he said it was visible, and not to waste his time. I do make sure that I’m logged in, so I guess it’s just going to be a mystery. Seriously frustrating for me, as I’ve paid to use the forum, and as far as I’m concerned I can’t interact with other forum members.

My post was in the General Section, discussing VAT on EU Boats (mentioned above).

It can’t be a problem with my browser? Cookies etc?

no neither of those should cause issues, but not sure I can help further without webmasters help

Thanks, Robin – much appreciated.
