    Not a bug Cannot edit a post, if post in awaiting approval by mod.

    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.

    Is it possible to see what threads a member has been browsing?

    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.

    Is it possible to see what threads a member has been browsing?

    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 @Dao Hoang Son and ragtek https://xenforo.com/community/threads/who-has-read-a-thread.14909/ https://xenforo.com/community/threads/ragtek-thread-reader-who-has-read-the-thread.11147/ I will...

    Thanks Brogan - it's no "biggie" some would even call it spying on a member ;) and possibly invasion of privacy.

    Does XF allow hiding of all posts except the 1st one?

    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- https://xenforo.com/community/resources/show-first-post-only.4637/ 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

    Andy's mod looks great too, with option to select forums to mod. But I will peek at snog's code first, as it probably is simpler to follow.

    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...

    Does XF allow hiding of all posts except the 1st one?

    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...

    Does XF allow hiding of all posts except the 1st one?

    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...
