Where's my post?

[JustMrMe]

Help! I put together a rather long post a week ago, and was notified that it was waiting for moderator approval. Okay, first post, reasonable delay to be expected. Read the buried fine print about Contributing Members, sent $ before posting, got the reply email acknowledging receipt. And nothing. Sent a couple of help messages using the system here on the site. Still nothing. Hoping that someone reviewing this post will notice and allow my participation, please? I was able to post photos in my gallery, but that's it.
