Getting frustrated...very FAST!!!

Guess I've been here less than a week and I'm not understanding what/who controls this forum. Half the time my post are not showing up and now I'm getting a flash message that a 'speed reader' might be able to read about the monitor or somebody has to okay my postings.

Have already received some VERY good information on my AR-15 that worked. But am wondering when do the handcuffs and the ankle braclet come off ??? I was told this is a fun forum but I'm getting frustrated very, very fast.. Getting ready to push my chair back in under the table, pick up my change and walk back across the street......

If you mean the post that you posted 15 minutes ago...I just approved it.
After you reach the 15 mark with your post count, your posts are no longer required manual moderation. I have a computer program scan the posts and if there is a url put on the post, it has a human check it. This prevents the many spammers this site sometimes gets.

This site as a whole is free, and while you may be inconvienced when you first get here the price is hard to beat.

Thanks for the clarification.

Now could you please explain the different levels of membership. I've seen the various prices and levels, bronze, silver and platinum. How do they compare and what is the differences.

Oh, and by the way Platinum is mis-spelled on the listing of levels.

All paid memberships get access to the more off-topic forum that includes a dedicated forum for computers,sports,politics,heealth, and cars

You get a nice little VIP image attached to your name, ability to edit the Registered User title under your name, and my sincerest thank you for supporting the site.

P.S. I will fix the spelling.

Do you have an older Windows?

It may not be the forum. Some of the older Windows
programs are not compatable with newer software for
applications such as this forum.

Try to post on a computer with a newer Windows and
pehaps a newer, more powerful generation of
Intel or AMD chips.
