I had not thought of the new post notification for users. You could probably use some of the same code used in the subscription notification in VBulletin, but I am not sure how important this would be. I just looked at Vbulletin, and it looks like there is a cron job setup to handle thread subscriptions on an hourly basis. Rather than trying to re-create this, would it be possible to tap into the thread/post subscription process? I am not very familiar with the VBulletin coding, so I have no idea of the complexity of this enhancement.
Regarding emailing moderators, I was thinking about the possibility of creating a Moderator_Email_Address parameter. Then, when a new link is added, and being held for moderation, an Email could be sent to the moderator(s). Since this would probably only email a few folks, I was thinking that this could be run when the submit button is clicked.
Thanks agian for the enhancement that handles moderation of unregistered users.

The forum assignment does not have any connection with this - it is basically a mechanism for providing security and association.
