Forum Thread grayed out and not listed. Is an external link the cause?

I created a thread in the 'General' forum. Unfortunately, after adding in an external link (which prompted for a 'captcha', as expected) the entire post is "grayed out". I don't see a link to it in the 'General' forum, either. Is it just waiting for approval by a moderator? Thanks!
