Up to (but usually less than) 48 hours in most cases -- the topics have to be manually reviewed, and I'm the only one responsible for doing so. Other moderators will sometimes stop in and approve properly formatted topics, giving them a faster turn-around time, but those that are not formatted correctly are left for me to handle.


Hopefully in the future we'll be able to move to a system where users fill out a form rather than simply posting to a forum, and manual approval will be much easier or possibly even not required -- in the meantime, sorry to anyone who experiences delays.



In the case of your own topic, 13 hours from submission to approval.
