Hi Marlon

Depends what you actually want:

1. Do you want users topic posts to go live, and the moderator to get notified that there is a new topic/post?

2. Or do you want the moderator to be notified that there is a new post/topic, and it only goes live after the moderator approves it?

Reason why I asked, is I wanted #1, and initially with version 4.1.2, InstantASP techs had to provide me with a specific DLL to allow this because there was a bug in that version (this topic was first posted back in 2005).

Now that I am using 4.1.4, to be automatically notified that a topic has been posted in a forum what I do is the following:

1. I have a Permission Set called Forum Moderator - and this has the following options set in the Moderations Options section of permissions:

2. I have a group called Forum Moderators that use this permission set

2. Users that are moderators are made a member of this group Forum Moderators

3. When I create a new forum section, I add each moderator as needed to the new forum section (Manage Forums -> drop down Moderstors field I add the moderstors as needed)

I agree - its weird, sometimes I have to redo it a couple times before it comes up. I also log in as a "regular" forum user, make a post, and wait a while to ensure that the "moderstor" does or does not get notified to know for sure it is working.

Hope that gets you going. I understood that when you first buy InstantForum, you are supposed to get a year or 6 months of free support - so if no go here, do send a mesage via your My InstantSupport area - they are not too swift in answering, but eventually they do.
