Usually, when I post message at this forum, I can see it in approval status and can delete it if I want.  
But for some reason, when I added message to [this topic](https://forum.torproject.org/t/a-survey-on-tor-browser-users/8490), message disappeared.  
It is still visible on activity/pending tab in my profile, but not directly in topic.  
Can anyone explain why it happens?

**Update:** right after message is published, it is visible.  
But after I press F5 - it disappears.

I have no idea on the reason for this, but I have the same issue. I also couldn’t delete a message I posted by mistake, as I got an error like “This resource can’t be found” (after I refreshed the page it “disappeared”, but is present in approval queue). However we’re discussing here, so the posts obviously get to the moderators anyway.

At some point, problem with invisible messages was solved.

However, problem with deletion of unapproved messages is still there - server fails to execute deletion request and responds with 404 error.
