I can\'t seem to moderate/delete/move any forum posts with my super administrator/privileges-up-the-wazoo account. I go to admin>forum>messages and click on moderate, and all it does is bring me to the post itself. (I get directed to /forum/viewtopic.php?&forum=3&showtopic=10). On that page, there doesn\'t seem to be any way to actually moderate the message.
So, am I missing something? Did I do the install incorrectly? I am running a clean 2.2RC1 install over the newest version of geeklog.
Thanks!

Oops, sorry. I originally said this but the forum ate my post because I forget the subject field the first time. But, the user I am logged in as is considered a Moderator for every forum (I am using the user that created each forum, so it was automatically made a moderator).

Oh, nevermind, I figured it out. I changed my login name between the forum install and now, and while everything else automatically updated this, the forum moderation section did not (maybe because the forum uses user_name instead of user_id as far as moderation is concerned?).
Anyway, it\'s working as expected now. Again, many thanks, Dirk.

A different question though:
It seems that it is not possible to separate the moderating and administrating rights. A moderator must have the forum.user and forum.edit rights. But if he has the forum.edit right he has the full access to the forum plugin, i.e. not only the "messages" section where he can edit posts but also the "settings" and the "Board Admin" panels. I think these should be reserved to the Site Admin.
Or did I get something wrong?
