Is anyone a member of the Vogue Forum

[Tracey82]

I am so annoyed I have joined Vogue twice now and none of my posts ever appear. I have contacted the adminstrator ten times or more but never get a response. There is a few items I desperately want in the for sale section but i cannot pm the person as it won't allow me. Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong or contact the seller on my behalf - will give you my email address, thanks

you have to make at least 5 post to be able to 'clear' the limitations...

i'm also a member there...

Hi Tracey, I'm a Vogue Australia regular (I use Vogue more then Specktra!) and I had the same problem as you when I first started off. Basically your post will eventually show - all new "vougettes" are moderated for the first few days, which means your posts will be checked if they are appropriate before being published. So as long as you keep posting on the forums for a good few days(even if they may not show up straight away) the moderators/administrators will eventually no longer need to check your posts. I think it was about 4-5 days from my experience before my posts automatically came up. HTH!

P.S I've emailed the administrators before as well and they NEVER reply.

Honestly I don't think that is true. I have been posting and I joined...oh last year sometime and posts still never show up. So I just gave up and I only lurk now and read about the sales. I don't think its a very effective or efficient way to run a forum :S

Thats exactly what happened to me! It's too much of a freaking hassle I would have made like 30 posts!

Thanks everyone for the replies but I am sure I would have posted enough and have been joined up for months now. I am really disappointed in Vogue for not helping to rectify this issue. If anyone knows member I heart makeup please let her know I would love to contact her re items for sale. Not sure what else I can do.

Me too - it's so frustrating. I'd love to reply to some of the for sale threads but there's no point. I'm a lurker too

I'm a member there too but I stopped posting there... the mods never reply to anything you ask and I had trouble with the posting there too - and I made plenty of posts. I dont think I even remember my password anymore....LOLOL!!

She is on MUA as well as here - you can grab her there or here if you need to

Another Voguette here. It took me about 6-8 months before my posts showed up... I'm not sure why it takes so long, but it's really frustrating.

I have that problem too!

I've been registered for a freaking 1-2 years and my posts STILL haven't shown up!! All I do is lurk now... it is soo soo annoying =\ I can understand the need to monitor the posts, but honestly, if you intend to do that before letting people become a part of your community, please DO IT!

 

[pinkvanilla]

I joined in 2005, so I think back then it was only taking about 2 weeks, if that, for posts to show up! I can't believe it is taking so long these days!

2 years is utterly ridiculous... there is NO reason to need to be "moderated" for that long... the moderators are either really lousy or really lazy

2 weeks is still really long! It's a forum for crying out loud, they should just let you in and if you stuff up your gone. easy.

exact same situation here! i gave up also

 

[Tracey82]

Thanks everyone for replying - yep they are super slack and have to admit I am just a lurker now as there is no point even posting cause it never ever shows up. Shame on you Vogue Moderators.
