Quick question.  I'm new here.  I posted my first thread a few days ago, but one day later, when I went to update my findings, I discovered the thread Title had the word "Hidden" added to it, and now, when I click on "reply", I am sent to another page that says:  ErrorThis function has been disabled.This Forum has been locked by the Forum Administrator.Well, obviously the Forum isn't "locked", as there are newer threads than mine.Furthermore, behind the text in my post, there is "ghosted" text saying "Pre-approved"???So, I'm simply trying to ask...why is my Post "hidden", and not reply-able? Have I been immediately  banned or did I say something against the rules or what?   I don't understand.  I have a lot of questions, and would like to participate here, so if I did something wrong, I apologize.  I just don't see anything that I did that could cause this.  Thanks for any insight.
