What Happened To My Post On Patch?

Have you typed up a post for the boards, added a photo, hit submit and cannot seem to find where your awesome announcement has gone? Not to worry. All the posts on the Patch boards must be approved before they are published. Typically, it takes 48 hours for your post to go live on the site.

A few notes about our new Patch sites:

  • They work best with Google Chrome as your web browser. Try using Chrome if you are having trouble uploading and posting on Patch.
  • ALWAYS save a copy of your announcement or blog in another format. A great thing to do in case your computer freezes, the site slows down or you accidentally hit the delete button.
  • Did you receive a "spam" rejection? If our "spambot" caught your tag sale or press release or fundraiser or blog by accident, just email your Patch Community Editor. She will remove it from the filter for you.
  • Editors can not edit user posts. You can edit your own post at any time! Simply log in, hover over your name in the top right corner, choose "your posts" from the drop down menu and edit away.
