Hello Everyone!

Hello everyone, I'm Luke, just wanted to introduce myself to these forums and see if this post actually worked!

I had just posted in the 'Software' part of the forum, with a rather huge post about my issues with my old Windows XP PC, but for some reason that new thread doesn't seem to have posted? :/ I'm not sure if it either didn't post properly, and that I should try posting it again, as I copied it all to a notepad on my laptop here, or if I should wait to see if the post appears after however much time!

EDIT: Just tried re-posting that thread again, and forgot that it had said about the thread needing approved for posting first or something... oops!
My bad for double-posting that same thread then in that case :-o although now it'll either be seen as spam due to that double-posting, or hopefully only one will be posted!

 

Hello David, thank you for the welcome, and thank you again for posting in my thread now that it has gone live on the forums!

Don't worry about it, that's understandable for this and many other forums anyway, it's just a shame that so many people set out to spam forums to the point where the forum itself has to have these restrictions put in place, which ruins it for people really! :/

I could see why links and certain words may trigger the spam filter and require the post to be approved first before being posted, so that's okay too.

There was a forum that I used to use years ago, and at one point they had to disable new accounts from being made to prevent spam accounts or fake member/person accounts from being created too, of which you had to contact the forum by e-mail in order to have a new account made or approved!
