[SUGGESTION] Retro-Notifications for Posts in Moderation Queue

Featured Replies

It would be helpful if notifications are triggered for approved posts which would normally have triggered notifications if they had not been queued. As it stands, if a member has visited the topic since the post was posted, they do not receive the notification when it is approved.

Perhaps the easiest way to achieve this would be to create the notifications as usual, but queue them too, only releasing them when the post is approved. I sometimes find I need to quote an approved post and add a note to be sure other members see it. But I am sure that other posts which would benefit from this are missed on a regular basis.

It already does this. What you seem to be describing is users getting a notification themselves, which of course doesn't currently happen

I am unsure if we are talking at cross purposes. When I approve a post, those who have visited the topic since the post was queued for approval (and normally receive notifications for updates to the topic), appear to not receive retro-active notifications for the newly approved post (which was queued before their last visit to the topic). I am suggesting that they should receive the notification.
