Edit: WTF stupid forum engine?

I am currently writing a MASSIVE homebrew campaign. I am clearly insane as I have taken on the task of writing two, full-fledged adventure books with similar formatting to the published WotC adventures. I'm about 5 months into the project and 4 chapters into the first adventure book. I realize this was a crazy idea, as I am doing something that normally teams of well paid people who have degrees of higher education in their fields are assigned to do. But, oh well. I find something I love, I.E. D&D, and I jump in feet first.

While I'll make my own smaller adventures from scratch, I like to let the big sandbox campaigns act as skeletons on which inspiration grows.

While running Curse of Strahd with my party, all sort of fun and crazy things have happened that were not detailed in the campaign supplement. On the other hand, the ideas that bore them would not have materialized if not for the setting.

I draw heavily from the OSR for my games. There is a wealth of amazing content and ideas in the old school world that can easily be adapted to 5E. I grab stuff from the OSR and WoTC products and I twist the game to my own will and make it what I want.

My saying is that once you buy a game, that game is YOURS. It no longer belongs to WotC. Mold it to your will.

I think the creative output of the OSR and its 'Do It Yourself' attitude is absolutely vital to this hobby. D&D is bigger than any one company, or any one rule set.

A small list of my favorite OSR blogs from which I draw inspiration for my campaigns:

I've run canned adventures in my current campaign from every D&D edition except 2e, along with a pile of homebrew stuff.

Ugh, ugh, ugh! I am really seriously pissed off at the EnWorld forum system right now.

Yesterday I very definitely clicked the "Make this thread a poll" button, followed by the "Preview Post" button. 100% sure about that. Preview Post.

I very carefully composed the wording of the poll question and its answers. But when I hit Preview again, EnWorld said "you cannot add a poll more than 10 minutes after posting". WTF? I didn't effing post at all!

So then obviously I wanted to delete (or at least hide) the post. But it didn't show in the thread list, or in my profile's "find latest posts/threads" section. So I figured it didn't actually post at all. I was out of time, so I walked away.

Over 10 hours later, I start receiving "Your thread has a reply" notifications. If I had received them instantly, like my subscription default specifies, I would have killed the thread.
