How to reply to a post?

[wood-duck]

Hello! I recently posted about an ongoing issue I’m having with the bus feeling at times a little under powered (link below)

https://www.skoolie.net/forums/f37/1995-dt466e-at545-experiencing-loss-of-power-at-most-any-speed-44732.html#post521085

I have attempted to reply to the people who have offered suggestions in the thread using the “quick reply” box and both times I’ve done it it looks like the reply needs to be approved by a moderator before it will be published? I’m okay to wait but I guess my questions are:

1. If I used a different method of replying would they be published sooner?
2. Is there a way for me to view what replies I have that are in this “pending” state?
3. What is the right etiquete for me here? I want to thank someone for their advice and ask a follow up question and I was planning to do so in the reply, but if that takes a long time to go through is my main other option a private message?

Thank you!
Noah

I typically use the "Post Reply" in the bottom left of the post instead of quick reply.

And if I want to quote what the person said, I'd hit Quote in the same post and then write under what was quoted and post the reply there.

I don't have issues doing it that way.

Dunno. Maybe moderators are controlling things a little more tightly.

After a while my guess is you will be able to send replies right away, just keep doing what you're doing.
