Why do none of my posts appear unless I log in?

I know that my posts are subject to moderation but am puzzled why nothing subsequently appears on the forum unless I am logged in. Is this the same for all other users, i.e. nobody can see any posts I make?

Very simple, The forum software knows that they are your posts so it assumes you know about them so does not show them again.

Sort of like hitting the "New Posts" button. Hit is once and you see threads that you have not seen. Look at a thread and the next time you hit "New Posts" that thread does not show up any more.

You seem to misunderstand my question. When I view the website without logging in none of my posts appear. When I log in they are there. Is there a reason for this or is it linked to my current situation, i.e. if I am subject to moderation none of my posts appear on the website unless logged in.

I would appreciate an answer to this problem. Presumably it is not only me who cannot see any posts I make when not logged in.

Bump - is it likely that I will get an answer to this question? If my posts are being suppressed on the forum then it would be useful to know.

You are not limited in any way EdinSteve with the exception that your registration on this forum is under permanent moderation for your many past infractions of our rules.

All of your posts must be reviewed by one of the members of the staff prior to being released to the public forum.

If there is some other problem I would first suspect something on your end, with your computer or browser settings.

Thanks for replying but I cannot understand why I have to be logged in to see any of my posts. Are you able to see my posts when not logged in? I have tried using a desktop Mac, an Ipad, an Iphone and via a VPN with no difference and, to be honest, why should being logged or not into a website have any effect on browser or other local settings?

The position remains the same. For whatever reason none of my posts are visible except to me when I log in. You could at least have the decency to admit that no further contributions from me will be shown.
