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 24 hours for your post to go live on the site.

A few notes about posting on our new Patch sites: 

  • The sites 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 text format. This is a helpful tip to prevent you from any major stress in case your computer freezes, the site slows down or you accidentally hit the delete button.
  • Did you receive a "spam" rejection email from Patch? If our "spambot" caught your tag sale or press release or fundraiser or blog, just email your Patch Editor. He or she will remove it from the filter for you and get that posting up as quickly as possible!

Still having trouble posting on Patch? Email Community Editor Lisa Gentes-Hunt at lisa.gentes@patch.com today for a little extra Patch help.
