As I discovered (after the fact) this morning, the notification "this post has been held for moderation, it will appear after it's been reviewed... etc", isn't shown.
This isn't normally a problem, I guess, but fearing I had lost my post, I resubmitted - causing Nick a bit of extra work in deleting the extraneous posts.
Is there a way to have this moderation note appear even when using 'quick reply'?
