 * Have I been blacklisted or something? I have tried four times to post a question
   here (on three different forums but same problem), and my question does not show
   up after I hit the POST button. It also does not appear in the list of posts.
   What is wrong?

 * Okay, this post showed up. I will try again. Maybe the screening function did
   not like my tags????

 * I tried to post my main question again on the Hack forum, since it is about getting
   a custom post type into a drop down menu in a custom main navigation menu. I 
   get a “slow down, you move too fast” screen. I am really really really confused.
   Why can’t I post my question?

 * Don’t panic just yet. 🙂
 * There is a SPAM filter in use here that yu may have tripped, and some posts do
   get flagged for approval and need a moderator to approve them before they can
   go live. Just be patient, and I’m sure your posts will get sorted out.

 * Oh!! Thank you so much for this clarification!!
 * I bet it was due to having a link in the post (to the site where I am having 
   the problem). Hopefully I’m not the only one who has done multiple postings of
   the same post due to this confusion. (<cringe>)
 * BTW: Suggestion: It would have been a Huge Help towards understanding what was
   happening if there had been a message on the screen (where the post would otherwise
   have appeared) saying something like: “Your post has been received and is in 
   the queue for review and moderation.”
