Accessing new topics that are held for moderation

I would:

1. Type your post in another plain text editor (ever lose your work when you lose your internet connection, etc.?)

2. Save it locally.

3. Paste it here when ready.

You could also copy and paste back and forth from here.

Thanks for the idea (which I often do), but that doesn’t address my situation. It isn’t that data got lost, it’s that a post was flagged for moderation (which happened after editing it, as I had to submit it to see how it would be rendered; I’ve another topic intended for the forum devs to add a preview functionality) and I don’t see a way to return to the topic page using the WordPress forum’s interface. The only way I’ve found to return to that post is to check my browser history.

This topic isn’t resolved. How can it be changed back to unresolved?

No, that’s not really a good idea. That will almost certainly convince the system that it was right to hold your post and reply for moderation. You’ll be teaching the system to hold more of your posts in the queue.

When something is held in moderation you’ll just have to wait till it gets cleared by a moderator. The queues are reviewed. Sometimes that is very quickly, sometimes not so quickly based on the time of day and who is available as I am going to do in a few minutes.

If you find your post is held in the queue then wait. Don’t re-post, don’t make new topics or replies about it just try and be patient. These are volunteer forums and there’s really no such thing as “URGENT!” or “ASAP” here.

Thanks for chiming in, but, again, that’s not what I’m asking about. I didn’t plan on creating any new posts related to the held topics, I merely wanted to be able to return to and view the existing posts. Neither the held post nor this is an urgent matter. The other post I mentioned wasn’t directly related to the held posts, it was regarding adding a “preview” function for posts to WordPress forums so that you can see how a post will be rendered without submitting the post, in order to avoid having to submit a post and then edit it (which then triggers moderation).

My question in this thread is whether there are any links to one’s held topics. As far as I can tell, there aren’t.
