The old forums weren't perfect, but they were exceleently laid out.

This new "social" way of doing things is just plain wrong for developers.

You can't find questions needing answers unless you go drilling down into each category, sorry I mean "space". Which ipso facto means that getting your questions answered is a lot less likely to happen now. This s u c k s big time.

Why can we not attach images?

Why does a post with a URL in it get stuck in "waiting for moderator" for days and days at a time?

The filtering and automatic-moderation delays appear to be adaptive, and appear to be premised on "This is a newly created account, if it does something suspicious like embed URLS, use words in the swear-filter, or similar things, make the moderators look at the post before allowing it through."

That, what you just said:

- Why does a post with a URL in it get stuck in "waiting for moderator" for days and days at a time?

- The filtering and automatic-moderation delays appear to be adaptive, and appear to be premised on "This is a newly created account, if it does something suspicious like embed URLS, use words in the swear-filter, or similar things, make the moderators look at the post before allowing it through."

should be clearly announced and explained somewhere. I've been unable to ask some questions (stuck in "Drafts" waiting forever for moderation) and assumed that it was a bug, unitl perhaps now then, if what you say is true. Anyhow, it's very frustrating, and I still have such stuck questions in my "Drafts" even though I'm at "Level 2 (30)".

Also I'd like to see recent time stamps as eg "3 h ago" again, rather than the current eg "Jun 12, 2015 6:07 AM" which is like noise to me since I live in a different time zone.
