Thanks Max! I'm actually a total newbie and couldn't find such a tip when I searched, so that's why I posted this. I wasn't sure where to post it either.

I just tested your code and it seems to do the same thing. Both of them are actually problematic in the same way -- they remove the info/links on the mod queue as well:

Does anyone know of a better solution?

Actually modify the template that you will normally see this from... think it (for general forum posts) would be the post_macrostemplate.

Around line 194

<xf:elseif is="$post.message_state == 'moderated'" />
        <div class="messageNotice messageNotice--moderated">
            {{ phrase('this_message_is_awaiting_moderator_approval_and_is_invisible_to_normal') }}
        </div>
    </xf:if>

try something like

<xf:elseif is="$post.message_state == 'moderated'" />
        <div class="messageNotice messageNotice--moderated">
<xf:if is="{{$xf.visitor.isMemberOf([ 3, 4])}}>
 {{ phrase('this_message_is_awaiting_moderator_approval_and_is_invisible_to_normal') }}
        </div>
    </xf:if>
</xf:if>

That should (have not tested) only display it to anyone in the Adminstrators group or Moderating group.
You could probably create a template mod to apply automatically and not have to worry about merging templates when updating.

Perfect, thank you!!

I just had to modify it a bit like this:

<xf:elseif is="$post.message_state == 'moderated'" />
<xf:if is="{{$xf.visitor.isMemberOf([ 3, 4])}}">
<div class="messageNotice messageNotice--moderated">
{{ phrase('this_message_is_awaiting_moderator_approval_and_is_invisible_to_normal') }}
</div>
</xf:if>
</xf:if>

Yep... left out the <> on the member group level... making that post from my phone while outside with the telescope. Didn't take my Surface Book out with me as I'm trying out the IOS app for the control software.
Just one more reason why phones don't work real well for "detail oriented use" with stuff like this!

That's odd I've never had that happen.

This was super useful and I've been applying it to more things. I'm wondering what the specific parts of the code mean and if there's a place where we can learn about things like this? IE: I'm not sure what isMemberOf([ 3, 4] means.

It determines if the visitor is a member of the passed group IDs (3 and 4 are the IDs of the default moderator and administrator groups).
