So if u replace the hack code:

PHP Code:

$oldforumid=$forumid; 


as:

PHP Code:

$oldforumid=$forumid;$visible=1; 


and replace:

PHP Code:

if ($foruminfo['moderatenew']!=0) {$forumid=$oldforumid;} 


as:

PHP Code:

if ($foruminfo['moderatenew']!=0) {$forumid=$oldforumid;$visible=0;} 


Then make your sub-forums private, the posts should apprear in sub forums as normal posts, instead of going into moderation queue. Then all you have to do is to move the thread to the main forums if you approve them. This would save you going into the Mod. CP.

However I'm not sure what might be the consequences of this change. There may be subtle clashing issues like thread subscription etc. You better check it in a test board for a while to see if it will work.

And even if it works ok, please remember that a moved thread will lose thread subscribers (this is not related to the hack, it's default vb behaviour) so when you use this structure, your moderated threads will not save thread poster's subscription when it's approved.

Hope this helps.. :glasses:
