[misbehaving feature] When validating posts they aren't considered new (and more)

[amykhar]

Here's the scenario. A member submitted a few threads to a forum that must be moderated before new threads appear.

When I approved them, they showed up in the forum, BUT

1) They did not show up in the new posts list.
2) They displayed not as if they had just been posted, but as if they had been posted when they were originally submitted. Thus, they were not at the top of the forum, but sprinkled in with other threads that had recently received replies.

I agree, this should be changed.

Do you know offhand where the code is that controls the approval process? I believe it would be trivial for me to simply update the dateline of the thread with the time of the approval.

I just gotta find it :)

From the top of my head, it's moderate.php in the mod folder.

[amykhar]

yep. That was it.

I simply added dateline=time() to the two update queries, and it seems to be working just fine.

Thank you.

Could you give me a line example and line number please? I'm not that good in php.:)
