Super Mario Bros. X Forums

I noticed that if you edit a post that you made in a topic that needs a mod to approve of first, you get an error and the post will disappear for a little bit.
Here's a video:

I fixed your youtube video. I was wondering why your old posts kept re-appearing in the control panel.

Re-appearing, what?

The moderated topics are pretty glitchy for some reason. Sometimes a post will need to be approved by staff and sometimes it won't, but I believe your error might be caused by phpBB counting an edit as a new post. It's probably something that just needs to be dealt with unless Joey finds a way to fix it.

This bug only appears if you are using your "Search" ability like 'View unread posts', 'View your posts' and so on that is related to that. If you do that, at the white box next to the mini Pipe there should be appear like this: "Board index ‹ General Discussion ‹ SuperMarioBrosX.org ‹ Community YouTube Channel ‹ Video Submissions" after chosed a Topic that is Globally Announced. Video Submissions has a permission set that if you post something over there, the post needs to be approved by a Moderator/Administrator. Try to use something different like go into "General" instead of using anything related to "Searching" a Forum.

It's because people are accessing global announcement topics through the View Unread Posts (or an equivalent) search function. The URLs require a root forum, and global announcements conceptually don't have one. phpBB uses whatever forum you're currently in as the root forum for a global announcement, and the search functions aren't a forum so phpBB picks one for you. For whatever reason, it always picks forum 59 (Video Submissions); this is a forum that requires approval for posts, which is why posting in the global announcement topic requires approval when you use the search functions (making it as if the topic was located in the Video Submissions forum, which is how phpBB is treating it). I'm not sure if there's a fix for this bug, but I'm pretty close to just deleting the Video Submissions forum because it doesn't get used anyway.
