Sometimes there is quite a long delay. When approved, the system uses the timestamp of when the post was written to publish the new thread. This has cause some threads to fall onto the second page.

Is it possible to remedy this with an "Approved" post in the thread? Or, perhaps after so many posts and a high approval rating members can post new threads without requiring approval?

Just some thoughts.

Unfortunately, the lag in approval is unavoidable. Often when I am screening threads, I don't have the time to open each thread individually (they show up in list form with an "approve" tab) in it's forum to make a post in it and there is no way to "re-set" the OP time to when it was approved.

There is a way for us to allow users to bypass the screening process but this likewise is a manual process.

Probably the best fix would be for the OP to keep track of their own threads and "bump" the thread if it appeared on page two after approval.
