Default Quicker Ability to Post

I've had conversations with a few of the "newbies", and can attest myself that if you need approval to post, it can take an awfully long time. Is there a way to deligate some of this from the administrator to the moderators?

I'm not trying to toss more responsibility at you moderators, but say someone is trying to get an answer to a question quickly, and then has to wait a few days here before they can even post... Kind of counter productive!

I understand that the approval process is in place to prevent spamming (even though it sometimes gets through), but making it more fluid would, in my opinion, be beneficial.

Just a thought!

The administrator is the one who approves all the people that sign up and approves them as quick as possible. I have been getting PMs daily about people that cannot post and I forward them to the Administrator who then fixes the problem which can usually take a day. The administrator is just one person (or sometimes he/she has split personalities depending on the day; us Mods have yet to figure that out :P ) But the system of manually approving members is not going to change.

I think the problem most people have is having their accounts stay active once they sign up. I had to sign up 4 or 5 times.

Each time, it would let me login initially, but once I closed IE or navigated away from the side, it would no longer let me login.

Alright, that's more of a tech issue with V.Bulletin 3.5.4 but I'll look around their website to see if that is an issue. We are planning on upgrading the boards (or so the Administrator says so) shortly in to the year of 2010.

Keep it coming, what other issues are there?

Take note that this may no longer be an issue. I know when I signed up here and for some time thereafter it was though.

If it hurts, don't touch it. =P

Anyways, that problem would be VBulletin.
