Remember
that submissions are not processed on an
immediate basis. In fact, long
processing delays (especially in certain sections) are not unexpected.
Therefore, a post that does not appear may simply be waiting for
processing. You should allow
enough time for your submission to
appear. New posts may
appear within 72 hours, however, it may take 10 days or more for new
submissions to appear, especially during our busiest
times. Be assured that we prefer to keep this time period to a
minimum, however, it may depend greatly on our resources &
support. If you would like to support this site at little
or no cost, visit frequently, invite
friends, invite
businesses and consider other
no-cost ways of supporting this

us regarding the status of your submission and do not resubmit.
-
Note that if your post does not appear, it does not
necessarily mean that your post was unacceptable. Remember that we do not
guarantee that any particular submission will appear on the site. There
are a variety of reasons why a valid post may not appear. If your post
does not appear, do NOT resubmit. If it does
appear on the site, there is no guarantee when it will appear, how
long it will last, what details will be displayed, etc. We may
reject posts for any reason, or even for no reason. Due to space or
other considerations, we may be selective about posts (thus, even
suitable posts may not appear). Please do not be offended if your
post does not appear.
