Browsing and Filtering Posts

The Messages tab gives you a single view of every post across all forums. You can filter by status and page through large volumes of posts.

How to Browse Posts

1. Navigate to Administer Site > Forums.
2. Click the Messages tab.
3. The table shows all posts sorted by most recently updated, then most recently created. For each post you can see:
   • A status indicator (colored icon showing Active, Pending, or Disabled)
   • Posted by — the member who created the post
   • Title — the post subject (falls back to the parent forum title for reply posts with no distinct title)
   • Body — a truncated preview of the post content
   • Updated — when the post was last modified

Filtering by Status

Use the Status dropdown above the table to show only posts in a specific state:

• All — Shows every post regardless of status.
• Active — Shows only published, visible posts.
• Pending — Shows only posts awaiting approval.
• Disabled — Shows only posts that have been manually disabled.

Changing the dropdown navigates immediately — no submit button is needed.

Changing How Many Posts Appear Per Page

Use the results-per-page control (next to the Status filter) to display 10, 25, 50, or 100 posts at a time. Use the paging controls at the bottom of the table to move between pages.
