Hi all,
I thought at first it was because i was a new user but now realising that its not..
My suggestion is to auto approve posts and topic's as it takes a long time to get a problem resolved when you have to wait 24-48 hours just for the topic to be approved, then you need to wait a while for the responders post to be approved
i think opencart is great and auto approval of posts will increase traffic through the forum as i know i'd spend more time on it.
thanks for considering...
Are you also going to change the posting time limit back to normal? I can't post twice within a few minutes of each other, and it's kind of annoying.Qphoria wrote:This is just something we enabled 2 days ago to try it. We agree its not working
Hmm this was supposed to only affect newly registered users... I was favoring this over the approval option. I'll have to play with it more to be sure you don't have this issueJohnathan wrote:Are you also going to change the posting time limit back to normal?

Ugh, now the time limit has gotten attention! 
The time limit is actually dragging me down. I come, troll a bit, complain, recommend, well you are getting to know me
BUT I also do check new posts and unanswered posts. Trying to help but when I can't post as fast as I type this is just prosaic I end up taking multiple smoke breaks and consider giving up on helping people here while I'm waiting for the timer to count down.
IF SPAM is a problem either get moderators to monitor new member posts at a 5 limit to clear newbie status. IF phpBB can't handle it, switch to a forum that can ... I'm sure we could raise enough donations to go with vB (even though I do really prefer opensource)

Is there a spam patron here?

The time limit was removed now (i think) but your idea to monitor new members is exactly what we did that this thread is against. I had approvals set for the first 5 posts but first time posters that weren't spammers were annoyedSapporoGuy wrote:IF SPAM is a problem either get moderators to monitor new member posts at a 5 limit to clear newbie status.

Yes, it is annoying for them.
I had to go through the same problem several times.
You also need to have a link in the forum header to deal with folks that can't figure out what is going on.
mp3car.com deals with this in a very severe and harsh way, moderators are busy as cup cakes and people always complain about why their posts are not showing up. However, spam is almost non-existent. Spammers get banned daily. I know since I ping buggers all the them feels good at times to pull the trigger
lolo, definitely stress relief

I say cut the time limit and put the posts at 3
Then I can go ahead and try to help people out without having to wait for the timer to finish counting down ..

lolo, I wouldn't be batchin' if I didn't
I get this almost every time when I'm running through the unanswered posts link on the forum and my answers take only a few lines to answer.

IF I go through the view new posts, I get it less often since I'm posting additional ideas/comments to already active posts.

But even then I come across this pretty regularly.
I don't hunt and peck with 2 fingers but still my typing speeds aren't that fast ...

i think you should have to auto approve post its long time for the who waited answers if not.... then less the limitation of time...
