vBulletin Manual - Inline Post Moderation

On the showthread.php pages, where posts are listed, each post will have a checkbox at the top right. Checking the checkbox will add the post to the list of posts to be moderated. The post color will also change to yellow to signify that the post has been chosen.

Above all the posts is a dropdown quick-selection box with various options to choose from, which apply only to that page. These options allow you to quickly choose multiple posts that match the selected criteria without having to manually click each post.

Select All
Selecting 'Select All' will highlight all the posts on the current page, including soft-deleted and unapproved, posts with attachments and posts by guests.
Deselect All
Selecting 'Deselect All' will reset all the highlighted posts on the current page, including soft-deleted and unapproved, posts with attachments and posts by guests.
Invert Selection
Selecting 'Invert Selection' will highlight all the unselected posts, and reset all the highlighted posts on the current page, including soft-deleted and unapproved, posts with attachments and posts by guests.
Select Unapproved Posts
Selecting 'Select Unapproved Posts' will highlight all the posts that are not visible to members (in moderator queue) on the current page, including unapproved posts that are soft-deleted.
Select Deleted Posts
Selecting 'Select Deleted Posts' will highlight all the posts that are marked as soft-deleted on the current page, including deleted posts that are unapproved.
Select Posts with Attachments
Selecting 'Select Posts with Attachments' will highlight all the posts that are have attachments added to them on the current page, including posts with attachments that are soft-deleted and unapproved.
Select Posts from Guests
Selecting 'Select Posts from Guests' will highlight all the posts that are made by guests (unregistered members) on the current page, including posts by guests with attachments, that are soft-deleted and unapproved.

If there are posts on other pages, that you would like to add to the list, you can go to those pages and add the posts as well. Your browser must have Javascript enabled for this to work. You are limited to working with just the posts on one page if Javascript is disabled.

Once posts have been chosen, the Moderation drop down at the bottom of the page is used to perform the desired action.

View Selected Posts
This option will display a list of the posts that have been selected for inline moderation. This is most useful when you've selected posts on multiple pages and need to recall them.
Deselect All Posts
This option will clear the list of checked posts, resetting the value in the [Go] to 0. This is most useful when you've selected posts on multiple pages and wish to start over.

Note:

The number of chosen threads will be listed in parenthesis inside the [Go] button. If this number exceeds the number of posts that you have chosen, you may have clicked on other posts by mistake.

After successfully completing one of the above options, the value in the [Go] will be reset to 0. All selected posts will also now be unselected.

Note:

This interface is also available when searching for posts via search.php. One could search for all post containing a common word or posted by the same user and then perform Inline Moderation upon them.
