Yeah, thanks! I wondered about that too, but just assumed it meant that my posts had been moved to that new thread and didn't give a second thought.

Thanks for the answers mja and zig. No idea there was a thread called mellow and therefore it intruiged me that a post was mellow and blocked.

Joe had mentioned in a different thread that certain triggers will cause a post to go into 'Awaiting Moderation" status. It has nothing to do (99.99999% of the time) with the individual who posted, but rather the content. If a post contains multiple links, questionable links (not necessarily unsafe) or web photos that contain hyperlinks; certain anti spam triggers kick in. There may be other triggers, but these are the ones that happen most often.

When I log in, I look for these and fix 'em when I see 'em. Thanks for your patience!

I got two messages saying two post were mellow and awaiting the mods attention. What is a mellow post? Aside from being chilled out and relaxed.

Mellow is the title Joe used, at my suggestion, for Beatles in the Blood's Heal/Hurt game after he split it from the Rockers version while moving them all to their own sub-forum yesterday. You do have two posts in the section that was split off and retitled, though I don't know why they'd be awaiting the mods attention - unless the messages popped up while Joe was working on it. I know I ...

Why am I getting this message after I posted a comment to the "Paul's Drumming on "Dear Prudence" topic in the "Albums" section --

Your post is awaiting moderation in the topic Paul's drumming on "Dear Prudence"

???

Thanks.

It looks like auto-embed doesn't work if it's an https:// link rather than an http:// one. You should only get the former if you're signed in to YouTube. If you are, and want to embed, can you remember to take out the 's' when pasting in the URL?

Not sure what I was thinking when I wrote that. Just paste a YouTube link on a line on its own and it should work out. Take out &feature etc if you see it in the URL.

Joe,if you have time, could you tell me what I did wrong on this other topic -- it seems like my YouTube link there has no "&" stuff, but still it just came out as a plain link:

I think we can all agree that Mr.Big was pretty annoying

I haven't re-read all of that thread, but if you want to start another on that topic go right ahead.

Aaaargh, you gotta be kidding!

It was a ridiculous thread from the beginning and not even a real topic, so the hell I will do, rest assured!

That invitation was really aimed at Funny Paper - see his/her original post.
