Forum Error? Times Of Updated Topics Out Of Order

[Am I Too Late]

It may just be me, but the Times and Dates of updated threads are not showing up in newest sequential order.

Maybe i accidentally clicked on a different viewing mode, if so, please ley me know what to correct.

Otherwise, it is a VB setting or bug.

Thank You,

Ed



P.S. Does anyone else notice this discrepancy?

I think it may be all the new posters, still under moderation. ???

Looks normal on my end. Try clicking on "Posted" in the upper right, there should be an arrow next to the word pointing up (indicating it's displaying from newest to oldest messages).

When moderated posts are approved they sort in the order they were placed. So if it takes 2 days for it to get approved, it'll show on page 3 or 4 even though it was just approved.

moderation for new users on a help site has gotta rank up there with one of the stupidest idea of all time.... serious... who thinks that this is an ongoing great idea...

It is probably done to eliminate Spam Bot postings.

But, after a legitimate human situation gets their 1st post reviewed, they should be able to un-moderate the new member.

But also, by requiring any newb to wait 1-3 days to view their posts, it may teach a valuable lesson regarding patience, which is a mandatory necessity to survive the situations we each encounter.

I couldn't agree more buddy. Your 1st post is probably when you are at your most low and you are really just reaching out to anybody that will take the time to give a stuff and say anything.

Pouring out your heart and soul and waiting a couple of days for a canned response is hardly the open arms of welcomes either.

I think your 1st post should be sent to a group task address that all the mods see & whoever opens it first, gives it the once over to make sure they are human and in need of help, then take them off moderation.

In all fairness once you are off moderation the site works pretty well.

That's my 2 penny's worth anyway

Oh and Hi all, it's been a while

Even though it is cumbersome at first, the initial moderation period is a good idea I think. I believe it's a big reason why this board is so much more supportive of those who want to actually save their marriages compared to some other marriage boards. They can weed out those who push for D.

When I first posted on another active marriage forum board, I was advised by many that my W was having an A, and I should snoop, hire a L and file for D before she does! Needless to say I dropped out of that place, came here and my M still has a chance.
