I love that Yve can show up for the first time in ...months? years? and just crack right on with modding the place. I was too slow! 90% of the mod alert requests turn out to be "do you want to approve this low effort spam? It's not even funny!" which is a disappointment.
Is there more to allowing somebody to post regularly than allowing their current post? Kweston's post was awaiting approval then Yve approved it, but that didn't allow his next one.
None of the mod stuff works on the mobile site, which is frustrating. I tried taking him out of the new user group but I've forgotten what they all mean. There's checkboxes for all the permissions and posts needing approval isn't checked in any folder.
Believe me, I've spent a lot of today scratching my head over it!
as far as I can tell, it's done, he's not in the new user group and everything seems as it should be. But this is one area of the forum controls that was always a bit of an interface-puzzler, we're all out of practice!
I eventually found the list of user groups and did have a good laugh at some of them, particularly the one with one member.
I have now abused my powers to make WilliamA a mod as well, just in case that helps some time. Who else wants to be one?
I think that one-user group was for good ol' Trig originally, I can't even remember the one who's in there now!
Aha, I shall ban, ban, ban!!!
As it happens, I seem to remember I was briefly a mod or something on a previous teh, not that I recall ever doing anything.
