HELP!!! Problem with moderated comments in blog - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

snowy · 10-01-2008, 08:01 AM

So ItWasMe asked me a question in regards to some pictures I posted, and when I went to leave a comment replying, it somehow became a "moderated comment." It shows up when I look at the post itself and when I look at a page called "Approve Comments." However, there seems to be no way for me to approve the actual comment. I don't have moderated comments turned on in my blog, either. Help, please!

there should be a check box on the left side of the comment. there is a pull down menu on the right side. click on approve.

it auto does that for spam blocking when there are links embedded into the post.

snowy · 10-01-2008, 08:24 AM

There doesn't appear to any checkbox or pulldown menu on the page, though. Or am I completely missing where it is?

snowy · 10-01-2008, 09:02 AM

That little checkbox doesn't check. And the pulldown menu is the view filter for viewing comments; it only says "All Comments", "Deleted Comments", and "Moderated Comments." There is nothing about approving a comment.

Cynthetiq · 10-01-2008, 09:08 AM

okay, how about in the actual comments thread?

snowy · 10-01-2008, 10:07 AM

Nope, can't select the checkbox, and there's no pulldown menu.

I approved it for you..as well as a couple others I saw in other blogs.. not sure why you can't do it in your own blog though..

Thanks gucci!

Glory's Sun · 10-01-2008, 10:32 AM

np.. I'll have someone check the permissions in the usergroups..

Cynthetiq · 10-01-2008, 10:54 AM

can you see the check boxes now? i modified the usergroup you are in.

snowy · 10-01-2008, 11:03 AM

Yay, it works! Thanks for your help, guys.

thirdsun · 09-25-2009, 04:09 AM

I have the exact same problem as described in the OP. I cannot approve moderated comments and I cannot select comments to approve.

If there is a switch that needs to be flipped for my blog (post #11), can a mod or admin do that for me please.

Thanks!

Glory's Sun · 09-25-2009, 06:17 AM

I went ahead and approved the comments for you thirdsun. Checking with some others to see why you can't do it yourself.. maybe it's a usergroup permissions thing again.

what skin are you using?

Cynthetiq · 09-25-2009, 06:24 AM

yes, permissions problem.

I fixed it.

thirdsun · 09-25-2009, 07:01 AM

Thanks, guys. I am using TFP Green, but did try a couple of the other ones before posting. I appreciate the help.

Yep, it's working now. Tried on an older post that needed approval.
