    When a post goes into moderation, the poster (me) usually gets a notification and the post wont show until its approved.
    In my case, there was no moderation message and the post showed immediately....there must be a bug somewhere...

    Speaking of bugs : has anyone noticed that lately more and more threads are showing that another page is available but when you try to go to the next page, it just redisplays the current page. I know why it happens (someone is composing a reply) but for some reason its been a lot more noticeable lately...
    I have noticed same, too lately. The thread shows that there is a further page, but it just goes back to the previous page and will not open that ' last page.'

    For some reason the 2 posts, one from Grunt and the other from Howard went into moderation awaiting approval. As you can see they are now approved. I don't know why this happened as I have just woke up and not had my morning coffee yet
    I just tried to post a link to Geo Happy Hour in the Ladies Night thread (since Zee-Z apparently doesn't know how to do that) and it's gone to moderation!

    What on earth is going on? Whatever new algorithms you've put in there clearly need some work...

    Firstly, I can see no reason why links within Geoexpat would ever be cause for moderation.
    Secondly, don't you have a list of (more or less) trusted users who can post links anyway?

    I am getting the phantom last page nearly every day on one thread or another

    I think there's a huge amount more auto-moderating going on now, but the "total post count" in threads is still being incremented before they are approved. As well as the count not being decremented when posts are deleted. This should be a pretty simple bug to fix.

    Whenever I need a definition for self-importance, I just need to think of Gruntfuttock (or any of his former aliases)

    I have just had a post deleted from 14th Nov when I pointed out there is no such thing as one drink in happy hour, and another asking if the first round next Thur was on geo.

    Both pretty innocuous and inoffensive comments but were " cleaned up" as the notification said.

    Beginning to think that this new moderation is getting way out of order.

    CWB ... was a general clean up that I asked GeoSteve to do on the thread to keep random editorial comments out ( not yours... but a response to yours ...)

    Your first and second drinks are on my or GS's tab
