Hi, What is the current policy on this?
I just tried creating 2 new posts ... they showed up for awhile ... and then disappeared. I thought that it could be because I did inline pictures ... so I tried reposting and got the same result. Not sure if they're in a "to be moderated" bucket ... or googles spam filter just deleted them. The posts had these subjects: * What is a reasonable number of evictions for filter_cache and fielddata? * Are long queues in management threadpool a problem?
