Default red bullet next to my posts
All my posts, at least all I've examined, have a red bullet next to the exclamation mark. Anyone know why this might be happening? I really doubt that my content would be judged as spam.

See 3rd from top at http://photography-on-the.net/forum/....php?t=1183706 for an example.

Thanks for any info you might provide.

You must be on the verge of being banned.

John, that means that you are in stealth mode. Only you and the Mods can see that. To everyone else it looks gray, as if you were not on line.

For those not in stealth mode the button is green if they are on line.

There is a setting in your User Control Panel.

I was going to say something similar

Anyone know how to contact the moderators? I sent an email using the "contact us" in the lower right corner but no one has responded.

Thanks,
John

I have many more creative ways to get a moderators attention.

You can PM one of them. That's probably a lot faster.

Either use the PM feature, or just press the button next to a post (make it a relevant post if you want to discuss something relating to a particular thread/post).

The resulting message will be seen by all of the moderation team.

Thanks Pete, I did a PM yesterday to "Pekka" and haven't received a response and the behavior of my posts has not changed. I'll wait a few days and try your 2nd method.

PM me directly if you'd like. Pekka tends to get very busy and you can imagine that he gets a large volume of messages.

Guys, Pete fixed me up. FYI it had nothing to do with being banned or spam, just that I had the "invisible" mode enabled.

Thanks everyone, especially Pete.

Darn, what does it take to get some love around here? Isn't that what I said in the second post of this thread?

I was thinking the same.
