Contests and Sweeps

[ardankyaosen]

I tried posting my gaming rig photos and specs here for the January sweepstakes entry, but nothing happens.  I get no error messages or complaints, but the thread doesn't appear in the sub-forum.  Is there a vetting delay or something.  Or, am I doing something wrong and the forum software just doesn't want to hurt my feelings by telling me so?

EDIT 1:  I even tried adding my post to this thread and it disappears from here, too.  It's simply a couple of paragraphs of text, a text list of my specs and two photos (that meet the size requirements of the forum) of my rig.  Just what the contest entry thread says we should post.

EDIT 2:  I managed to get the thread posted by modifying my list of specs.  For some reason, the forum software didn't like the specific Windows 10 build information that I'd included.  Once I deleted that substring from the specs, everything posted fine.

Maybe the photo is in the queue and need to be controlled before.

Why doesn't it let you put the Window's build information?

I have no idea why it doesn't like the last half of the OS information line.  It's still happening here.  If I put the line in, the post immediately gets deleted.  Here's the first part (that it doesn't have trouble with):

OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (x64)

The last part of that line reads something like:

Build nnnnn.nnnn (22H2)

where the n characters represent digits.  But, if I put that in with the actual numbers, the post gets deleted.  I just copy/pasted that information from the system report of HWInfo.

You need to post it in the Battle Stations sub forum. Go here and post the pictures:

I finally did manage to do that.  Before I got the contest entry thread posted, I started this thread about the problem.  Once I managed to get the thread started there, the mods moved this message from there to here.
