Hi Gill
Don't worry - you are doing everything right.
An easy way to see all of the messages you have posted is to either click on your name and then click 'see all posts' - or to click on User CP at the top of the page (this stands for 'Control Panel').
You have posted one message (about Budapest) that I haven't published yet because I am waiting for an answer from a colleague. This will be on the site soon.
Kind regards
Olly, your editor
