Please only make (1) Introduction post. New Member Posts are Moderated and need to be approved. This is done as time and life permits.

If you don't see your Introduction post we simply have not gotten to it yet
to read and approve it, do not make another.

I'm new and created a new post and believe it is in the 'new member' section (not yet approved). If that is the case, my apologies.
I'm not yet able to view to confirm where it/they went yet but I will move them to the appropriate or request assistance once I can view them.


Thank you.
Mark

I can't post either ...this is more of a test than anything.

Been waiting well over two month's now for "Approval" from the Moderators. This is getting a tad bit ridiculous. It would only take all of about 20 seconds to read my introductory post - so it's not as if someone has to alter their entire schedule for the day to read it and approve it for public viewing.

Went through the trouble of creating my account. Uploaded an avatar. Custom Signature. Created my garage. Subscribed to a thread and even went ahead and validated my PERSONAL phone number (really guys?).

All the requirements needed for the "set-up" process as highlighted on the Home Page of this forum and my "Set-up Progress" has been stuck at 83% for months now.

Been a member of on-line forums since the early days of dial-up internet and have NEVER had so much difficulty being able to post on a public forum before. A B-Body forum of all things. Good grief.

I suppose I would be so annoyed, if I didn't notice that other members have made introductory posts after me, and have been approved before me...

If I've forgotten to fill something out, I'd appreciate being told what else I need to fill. If I'm being ignored on purpose, I'd like to know so I can move on. Leaving me high and dry for month's while others get approval?

Not cool.

I find this forum to be less user friendly than the gmlongroof forum - it still won't let me post on classifieds or even reply to someone else's post here... if you aren't number one, you're number 2

Considering the title of the stickie for that section combined with your current total 8 posts you need to note the very first item listed:

i hadn't bothered to read the top post in a while and forgot one requirement was had to have a minimum of 20 posts overall . . . so you proved my point - i had no issue posting on gmlongroof and i don't think i have more than 10 posts there so far... i don't really like to post unless i think i have something valuable to add - just spams up a site. Forums have never been refined to the point of being easily searchable or navigatable so there's often a lot of duplication.

The Misc section is for aimlessness, and sadly been neglected of attention of late. The braintrust is immense considering a junkbucket Chevy production run of only 3 years. Go ahead and start a thread on how crappy this forum is lol. It should elicit sufficient responses that your replies will quickly reach count. Can't vouch for all other forums, but most car groups I hunt for help on (and especially this one) are extremely easy to search with even just basic keywords, either singly or bound in quotes, along with filtered to the most likely couple/few sections. Results ALWAYS lead me toward reward. Stickies are gold, and you're right 100% of the majority of issues/problems/mods have been covered and covered and covered.

In 1996 I bought a brand new black Impala SS, did a few mods and sold the car in 2002 to buy a Corvette. Corvette was a great car, but far too common, I should have kept the Impala! A client of mine recently passed away and the wife just sold me his prized black 1996 Impala SS. I guess you can say I'm back, but this time with an unlimited budget!
