Notice: Moderation Bug on Approved User's Posts

A bug with Vbulleten was placing posts by approved users (even including posts by staff) into moderation limbo, a place unobservable by moderators checking the forums under normal conditions. Apparently this has been going on for a while but was not detected due to the infrequency of the bug. We think we've corrected the problem, however, in the future if you are an already approved user, with posts that have displayed correctly in the past, and find one of your new posts in moderation please contact Lloren.

If you are a new user standard policy still applies and you can expect your first posts to be moderated. See details here.

Apologizes to any user who wondered where their post went. At last they have been set free from their imprisonment to share their spam with you all!

I'm Tek7 and I approve this message.

EDIT: Oh, and in all fairness, it looks like the issue MAY have been caused by a vBulletin plugin that's no longer in development.

This was happening on another board I moderate on as well. I only attached permanently to one member, but a few others would have sporadic "moderation" posts. I just thought it was that set of forums and not vbulletin because that set had so many other issues hitting due to ads and such as well.

It looks like the changes I made resolved the issue, but Gerbil has likely been watching the moderated posts and threads queue more closely than I have, so he could probably give us a better idea if the problem's fixed or not.

I have been checking regularly and have not seen the bug since you worked on it.
 
Tek I'm sending you and Lloren a PM I checked the forums today and, although I caught it the day after, the bug appears to have occurred again XD.
