This does not appear for me. The only admin option I get is "Delete". I used 2 different admin accounts to test this. Could the fact be that both accounts belong to sub-groups as secondary usergroups be affecting this?

Also...


New Questions

1) What about mass moderation? Let's say that you want to move several articles into a different category...or perhaps delete 20+ articles. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this efficiently. It looks like one has to go to each article and click the delete button.

Also, if someone puts their article into the wrong category (and the option to approve is turned off, or perhaps the admin/mod just spaced it and wasn't paying attention to the category), then the site is out of luck as there is no way to move someone ELSE's article. We have to instead ask the author to move his own article...this seems incredibly inefficient.

Any plans on resolving this?

Or is this supposed to be done via "Manage Articles" in the admincp? If so, my page is blank other than the field names at the top of the page. No articles are displayed despite having articles existing.

2) Currently, these areas of the vbarticles admincp are blank or have no data:

Choose Editor
Manage Articles
Editor's Choice

3) Currently, the Who's Online display says:

Unknown Location
/forums/vbarticles.php

Any plans on fixing that one?

once we get this figgured out, I need to know how to change the default text background for the posted articles from a black back ground, to a white back ground...
cant read the text unless i change the color of the font.
Check it out:
http://www.smokinchevy.com/vbarticle...le&articleid=1

Also..
one other thing...
why does a ADMIN have to moderate the entire article again after the user makes a change to it?
Thats way too gay!
but if the admin dont moderate it again, if you click on the link for the article it wont show up
http://www.smokinchevy.com/vbarticles.php


yup.
But photos /tmp / directorys were not already there.
only images and video where there by default.
I had to make directorys for /photos /tmp /photos/thumbs.
I did chmod 777 those newly created directorys.
here is the screen shot url hope it shows up enough:
