Resolved Post took 24 hours to publish

I listed in the “items for trade” section. 24 hours later my post hadn’t published, so I made the post again. Then both published within minutes.
As a follow on, it appears I’m flagged for moderator approval to reply to my own “item for trade” thread. No such flag occurs elsewhere in the forums. Any idea why?
