I keep getting a message saying my posts won't be visible till someone approves them

I'm wondering if this is because I took a break from the forum but just wanted to make sure I'm not in trouble or anything! I remember people having issues with this a way back

Thanks 😊

    It's their spam filter and happening to several of us at the moment.

    Hey @66Mustang unfortunately due to the recent changes to the community due to the online safety act, we've had to increase the sensitivity of our spam filters, which means they're catching otherwise innocuous comments. Even discussions I've made have been caught in the filters. 😅

    We're working on getting a better balance, so apologies for now and thank you for your patience. ❤️

    @Albus_Scope

    Why do we keep having to sign in every time we visit the forum and we have no choice but to accept cookies?

    Also for some reason I am unable to use abbreviations here.

    That's a new one for me @luvpink I'll pass that on to the powers that be. Apologies for any inconvenience it's all causing.

    I have found typing difficult all the time I have been here, double postposting etc. If I type I'I'm for example or doctordoctors. Takes ages to correct everything!

    I've had a double check and this isn't anything on our end. From personal experience, this sounds more like a browser issue. It sounds like your browser is auto cleaning the cookies and privacy settings after each session, which would lead to you having to repeatedly accept the cookies and the need to log in each time. This can often happen if you're trying to access the community using incognito mode in Google Chrome.

    The abbreviations part is very weird, could you explain in a bit more detail please?

    It says when you are attempting to post, that something is trying to install something which is being refused by chrome and firefox thank goodness. Have sope been hacked?.

    That doesn't sound like anything on our end, that's very odd @AppleJacks would you be able to get us a screenshot of what's said? Or the exact wording?

    I don't sign in every time I visit the forum. Neither am I asked to accept cookies, I think because they know I don't like sweet food.

    If I try to use abbreviations it will not accept them unless I use full stops between each letter.

    I'm sorry you're having issues with the forum @luvpink. Could you give me an example of the abbreviation you are trying to use as we are having trouble replicating the issue.

    If I post abbreviations a red line appears underneath them and I unable to post any further.
