Why can't I post my reply to this thread
Hi,
Why can't I post my reply to this thread: Calculate hours using pivot table | Microsoft Community Hub
I have tried several times so far to post my reply and at first moment it seems to be accepted because the page displays my replay, but after refreshing the page it "disappears", meaning it no longer exists. Anyone have any ideas?
Thnx.

Your post could be subject to moderation and will be invisible until approved, roughly 48hrs. A design flaw of these forums that it doesn’t remain visible and editable to the author or have a flat out rejection notification.
are you attaching a file?
this forum has an automoderation feature that seems to be a bit over zealous (IMHO) and doesn't allow many posts. Even from very established members that have hundreds or thousands of posts. It is rather frustrating if not down right infuriating. I created a reply to the overlapping time post with a complicated formula and a lengthy explaination of each line of the formula to only have it disappear. I hoped it would show up a day or so later (which sometimes happens) but it didn't, others already replied with other solutions and I have no desire to re-write it.
That said just the other day I replied with a macro based solution. I got smart and broke the reply into 2: 1 without the file attached with images and code snippet and the 2nd with the file attached. So the first was no problem and the 2nd posted but without the file attached. I don't get it. Sry I'm not more help, but more in the same boat.
