If you were supposed to get an email from the forum but didn't (e.g. to verify your account for registration), email Wes at stararmy@gmail.com or talk to me on Discord for help. Sometimes the server hits our limit of emails we can send per hour.
If it is possible, could threads on the IC News forum get bumped somehow when they are approved by an admin? I'll often miss cool breaking news posts (love me some news posts) because they get approved after my last visit, and thus get buried down the list when the "β What's New" tab is clicked. If this is simply not possible because of the way XenForo works that's understandable but I've been wanting to ask for a while.
I'm not sure I have an obvious way to do that. New posts are the same as regular posts, and they show in order by the date and time they were posted just like any other posts.
