An easy way to find your recent posts is to click on your own name and there is an option to view your latest posts. However, this seems to be the first one you have submitted so I guess your original post must have been drafted but didn’t actualy get submitted for whatever reason. The only other post you have listed is in response to a query about supplying ebony but that one has a later date/time stamp than this one.
Anyway, welcome back to the forum!

New members posts have to be approved by a mod until you prove you are not a spammer, hacker or whatever. I think you have to have 5 posts before you no longer need approval.
The same with attaching photos for new members.Too many low lives out there to just let anyone post whatever they want.
