Hi,

I think I need to clarify my situation a little. I have a small number of forums - typically only 4 active - so the number of forums isn't an issue for me. I have a hack installed that lets Members post without moderator approval, and they acccount for 95+ percent of the posts. Guests and new members require approval of all posts - this is to keep the trolls off. Once a new member satisfies me that he's not a jerk, I make him a regular Member.

I don't want an e-mail every time someone posts a message, which is, I think, the default system in the software. I do want one when a message enters the moderator queue, so that I don't have to keep checking it.

The PM option would notify me, but that means checking my PM box fairly often - not much less trouble than checking the moderator queue. My e-mail rings a bell and displays a desktop icon every time a new e-mail message arrives, so this would be ideal.

Any help would be appreciated. I do, of course, appreciate the fact that people have responded with suggestions.

Thanks,

Steve Price
