Are the moderators sleeping on duty at mbed.org
Hi all
Since there is no other way to get in touch, I hope to get an answer this way
I have TWICE tried to post on the News and Announcements forum, and the post has been left pending. Last approved post is 11 days ago!
What is going on here? Is there no-one taking care of the forums? IMHO, Since the early days of the mbed, vitality of discussion has gone down. Way down.
Wake up, start processing the pending posts or remove the moderation. I

I have rarely had any response from MBED. I even submitted an Adafruit GPS shield that can be made compatible with a Nucleo board and got no reply.....Ever!!!!!!

I'll investigate to see if it is technical or personnel or both.
Apologies for any delays in review; we've had to tackle some pretty annoying human-powered spam attacks, but if the mechanisms/processes to control that put in are really getting in the way of your activities, that isn't great.
We'll get back to you...
Hi Simon. I know you are the force behind the whole mbed story. I am about to bring several thousand new mbed users into the fray with something the mbed ecosystem has not seen before (www.pokitto.com). And I am deeply concerned about the vitality of the mbed forums because of that. Right now I have a comment waiting about the Kickstarter being live. 24 minutes after pressing post, the comment is in moderation. It gives a very bad impression of the state of things here. Even LPC forums have more oomph. I am not kidding, I am genuinely concerned.
posted by 28 Apr 2017Yep - forums etc need some love, and i'm pleased to say are going to get it ;) I'll be introducing a few people in the next few weeks who'll be looking at this type of thing, so will make sure they are available to chat with any of you on your experiences/issues to get them fixed.
posted by 29 Apr 2017Did anyone ever get introduced? From a public standpoint there isn't much of a community here. Where are those 250,000 mbed developers?

Besides your issue with moderation, the second issue is that the forum is of limitted use to be frank. Since they placed every library update, new program, etc on the front page, the new forum posts are not visible anymore from the normal mbed developers page. So question work fine since they are visible, but forum posts not so much.
