Why can't I see issues posted by new team member in my project backlog or sprint planning board?

Question

A new team member is testing and adding issues in Jira. I am emailed about these issues, and I can click to view them in Jira. But they don't appear in the backlog. I can only view them by searching in the "Issues and filters".

I have shown him how I add issues, and he is using the same method: Go to the planning board. Click the plus sign. Enter the details. For me, the issue is now in the backlog, but his is not.

How do I get his issues to show in the backlog?

There are no visible differences.

Where are the links to board filter and board config?

There is some difference in the issue that means the board is not going to display it.

I would want to take one of their missing issues and compare it with

* One of your issues which is not missing - apart from the issue key and the creator, what are the differences?
* The board filter - this can explain why issues are missing
* The board config - do you have any quick-filters applied?
