@Joakim Congrats on taking on Simple:Press and thank you for the continued support!
This issue probably first started occurring a few versions back now, but it has taken some time to identify a pattern and determine what’s actually happening…I’ll try to explain clearly, see screenshots below for reference.
The Admin Queue always used to identify first posts awaiting moderation, whether the post started a new topic, or if it was in reply to an existing topic. The Queue does still identify new posts awaiting moderation IF the member starts a new topic. A few months ago, however,we started noticing this odd behavior.
If the first post from a new member is a reply to an existing topic, the reply no longer appears in the Queue as flagged for moderation. Instead, a notice appears in the Queue with “There are new posts in this topic” with the only option to View the topic.
New Reply Awaiting Moderation:
Viewing the topic, reveals that the post awaiting moderation is actually a reply to the existing topic. However, there is no way to moderate and approve this member’s first post from the Admin Queue.
Reply Awaiting Moderation:
So, if a new member’s first post is a reply to an existing topic, it does not appear in the Admin Queue and it must be manually approved.
I don’t notice any new settings related to this, and hope it can get resolved in a future release so the Admin Queue will work like it used to.
Thank you!
