I_cant_Swim_ Posted November 13, 2023 Posted November 13, 2023 It appears to me that the Approval Queue is for posts etc that are only made visible after approval. However, one of our moderators said it should also be possible to use the Approval Queue for all posted and visible content on a forum, so moderators can sift through them all. In this case, approval only means they have been checked by a moderator. How do I activate this feature? Any help appreciated.

I am a little confused. That is precisely what the approval queue does. The moderated content will be visible to the general public only after someone has approved them.

I_cant_Swim_ Posted November 13, 2023 Author Posted November 13, 2023 thank you both. The moderator in question was adamant that the previous site he worked on (also hosted here) had said function. Could it have been a 3rd party thingy?
Marc Posted November 13, 2023 Posted November 13, 2023 It would have to have been 3rd party, as the approval queue on the software simply doesnt work that way, and indeed has never worked in that manner I_cant_Swim_ 1
I_cant_Swim_ Posted November 13, 2023 Author Posted November 13, 2023 ok. Just to clarify, the person involved said a team of moderators could work their way through the list (of already visible posts) using the Approval queue, and the post was removed from the queue on approval. That way they only had unmoderated posts in the queue. He said as the posts were already visible, they could wait for days or more before moderation. Ok, I thank you all @Miss_B, @Jim M and @Marc Stridgen for your input. Have a great day, guys. You've basically all three solved my issue, so forgive me for granting the honor to the first reply (as I cannot select all). Marc and Miss_B 2
