Moderating new threads... very good thing. Thank you SO much for this!

Problem is, you can't be at the computer 24/7. Sometimes by the time you approve a new thread it is older than more than half a page of threads with new replies, and it appears waaaaaaaay down the list. I keep missing a lot of new threads.

Possible solution: Is it feasible to change the timestamp on a post so it will show up at the top of the subforum's front page?

If that's not feasible, could the approving moderator post "Thread approved." or some such to bump it up?

If that's also not feasible for social reasons, no biggie. It's not a major thing, just a quality-of-life improvement that I think would make life a lot easier for a lot of people.

Good morning, Mr. Lynx :) Across the top of the page, under the Christian Chat banner/header, there is a row of links. The first one is, What's New. Now that is not just new threads, but also the latest posts, and there is a link beside What's New (once you click that first link) for New Posts, and also at the end of that line of links, a link for Latest Activity. Perhaps the best way to find new threads is to click the Find Threads link from the main page, and then from that page, select Unanswered Threads.
