Two Questions and a Suggestion re moderating posts and permissions

Hi Guys

I’m trying to resolve my own issue but I’ve hit a stumbling block. 

If I want a member to be able to post freely without moderation after having their first post moderated, do I need to 

untick

Can bypass first post moderation

and tick

Can bypass all post moderation

?

It’s probably just finding it a little confusing.

I’m also struggling to find the relationship between groups and permissions. All of my members are in ‘members’ unless I move them to moderator, however how do I control the default permission set for this group? For example, what if I want members to go into full access rather than standard access (I have no idea where they go at present).

Finally, a suggestion – would it be possible not to have subscriptions emailed to other members until a post has been moderated? This way they don’t visit to find out the post is awaiting moderation and not know when to return.

Many Thanks

I always have to look uo moderation as well smile I would suggest this – http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/faq/problem-with-post-edit-buttonow-to/problem-with-post-edit-buttonow-the-post-moderation-permissions-work/ – as the best guide!

There is no relationship between a User Group and a Permission Set until they are applied to an actual forum. This is where the relationship is formed – where you set the User Groups to a specific Permission Set. Manage Forums and then select View Forum Permissions where you will see and can adjust those relationships. Might also help to take a browse through http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/getting-started/.

I believe after your prompting of this above that particular hole was plugged yesterday for the next subscriptions plugin release.

should release the heavily made over subscriptions (now with forum subscriptions and digests too) along side 5.1…
