I noticed this big while posting on xenforo.com just now.
There is no "edit" option on your post, if it is awaiting approval from a mod.
This may be "by design" but clearly you should be able to edit your post regardless of needing approval by a mod or not.
really? that is news to me - I thought the licence expired 12 months after purchasing/renewing.
I will make inquiries with the original board creator and see if I can take over the licence and get registered here. Thanks Brogan.
I help admin & mod a forum running an older version of XF (1.3.1) whose licence ran out a long time ago.
The forum is a not-for-profit small community (less than 100 members!) & not worth updating to 1.5. (I have also posted about there being a need for a tiered licence cost: cheaper for small...
Thanks adwolf1, I found it, from 2011. There were a couple of developers working on it for XF v1.1.x

Just to update this thread, Andy created an update to his mod to achieve exactly what I was after.
His mod (currently v1.2) can be found here-

I have tested it on a demo board and it is sensational.
Thanks @AndyB
Dear XF users,
I'm trying to find out if XF has the following capability.
With my VBulletin forum a moderator can chose to see what threads a member has been looking at (as opposed to posting in)
This can be useful for moderators sometimes, to track a member's activities.
Possible in XF?
cheers
Wow, fast work snog!
Your "mod" looks like it will do exactly what I was asking about. And yes, I wanted the mod to be "forum wide" (all forums)
So brilliant work.
Thanks Cyb3r, you have given me some confidence to consider buying a copy of XF and peek at the message template, and do the mod.
How hard can it be?
Famous last words...

Thanks Borbole, I guessed as much.
I guess I now have an incentive to learn XF's templating system / OOP / MVC /Zend etc. and have a crack at the mod.
On first glance, it sounds like an easy mod.
i.e. when displaying a thread (like this one) check if guest or member logged in and display post...
Hi XF users,
I am currently using VBulletin.
I currently can hide all posts in a thread, except the 1st post (as a means to increase registrations)
In other words, anyone can read the 1st post in a thread, but subsequent posts are each shown to guests as "This post hidden to guests - sign up and...
