"In Review" means what? Can't message Allen"
Charles_Kenyon​ ,
Thanks for posting, you can't message Allen because I have had to disable my IM inbox as to many people were ignoring the community guidelines and sending me PMs directly instead of posting - sorry about that.
I would like to apologize for the confusion that the In Review flag is causing, it is only visible to community administrators, moderators and the original poster. What it means is that your post has not yet been reviewed by a moderator.
It does not mean it has not been posted and I think we will look to tighten up both who can see it and when in the next release. For now you can feel free to ignore it.
I am actually about to go and clear it off all your current posts so that will hopefully put your mind and ease.
Hi, "In Review" usually means the post is being held by moderation or an automated review workflow before it is fully visible or acted on.
A few harmless things to try:
1. Wait a bit and refresh the page later.
2. Avoid editing the same post repeatedly while it is being reviewed.
3. Check whether links, screenshots, or repeated edits triggered review.
4. If private messages are not sending, try another browser or disable extensions.
5. If the status stays stuck, note the post URL and share the details in the appropriate Tech Community help area.
It does not necessarily mean you did anything wrong. Sometimes normal posts get caught by moderation filters.

Except, the post is available to the public. I do not see the "In Review" unless signed in, but the post is visible. That message is still there after four days when I am signed in.
OK
Lucky you Charles, you got your In Review removed, I didn't.
In the same situation, wondering what the turnaround time is like.
Hi Jamony,
I don't believe any of the above apply.
These "In Reviews" were not there until about
Mid June are after. I'm also a VM on Q&A.
I believe it's a Tech Comm. issue. I did manage
to get an message sent to Allen.
These In Reviews are only visible to us if
we are signed in, if we are signed out we
can't see them.
