    Post moderation message

    Hi, we've recently changed our settings so the first couple of posts are moderated for new users.
    It's working fine however the message that comes up when you submit a post only stays visible for a couple of seconds. We would like to extend the time this is displayed and/or have another means where we can clearly show people that there post is going to be moderated before publishing. Can this be done?
    Thanks, Cam

    All vB redirect pages are at the same speed. To change this, edit the STANDARD_REDIRECT template and change the number 2 on this line, to the amount of seconds you'd like the redirect to last:

    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL={vb:raw url}" />

      Hi Steve,

      Thanks for the response however changing this number didn't have any impact on the message time.

      I noticed the url code is slightly different in ours....

      <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=$url" />

      ...could this be impacting the change?

      Thanks, Cam

        In that case this will requires modifying the code. We cannot officially support code modifications or forums running modified code, however you can try searching or asking for help with this over at www.vbulletin.org.

          So there are no alternative ways to inform users their post is being moderated? A 2 second message is just too quick for our user base.

            There is no built-in option for that. This will require modifying the code.
