MD forums provide an identical management system for all managers. A message will always be marked as unverified (or non-validated in case of a priori moderation) as long as a manager as not marked this item as “seen”
At the forum root, on the category list, you can simply click on the Moderation menu in the tab bar to quickly access waiting messages for all forums. However, you cannot edit all "a priori" forums at the same time.
Inside categories, on the thread list, you will find a similar icon in the tab bar. However there is no drop down menu. Simply click on the icon to automatically access the Quick or A Priori moderation interface depending on the nature of moderation set up for this category
To the right of each message, managers can quickly access moderation features
Checking the
box next to this icon will mark the message as “to be deleted”. In
this way, you can mark several messages and validate their
deletion by clicking on “Delete/Restore the selected messages” at
the bottom of the page.
Clicking on
this icon will bring you to a page with detailed information about
the IP address of the poster. In addition, you will find a list of
members who have already posted with the same IP address.
This
icon will appear if the forum that you moderate has the personal
photo library feature enabled
Clicking on this icon will redirect to a place where you can delete a picture uploaded by the member
Clicking on this icon will bring you to the Moderation interface
In our example, you can see a grey area. This is a message that has been previously deleted by another manager.
If you click on the icon
, you can mark this message as «
to be restored » The restoration process will be effective once you
have clicked on the “Delete/restore the selected messages” at the
bottom of the page.
Depending on the situation, you may also see an extra icon in the moderation bar of the right. This icon means that this message has been posted by a member with multi pseudos.
Clicking on the icon will bring you to this member’s multi pseudo management interface.
Finally, you may also see this icon :

When entering a thread, moderators should have two extra tabs compared to members.
The first tab enables the moderator to filter the thread messages in order to display those which have been deleted
The second tab enables the manager to perform moderation actions: to close the thread (members will not be able to add their reply), to move the thread in a different category, sub category, or to simply delete the thread.
In case a thread should be moved, administrators managing several MD forums can also move a topic to another forum category.
Should a thread be moved, its author will be notified either by email or by PM depending on the member’s profile parameters (see Forum user Guide).
When this action is performed, the original URL of the thread will redirect to its new location.
You can also delete all the replies of a particular member to this thread by clicking on the member pseudo in the left column
can do several things when editing member messages via the
edition icon 
above each
message
When editing the first message, moderators have an extra option that other members do not have. You can turn a classic thread as a « sticky », which means that it will stay at the top of the list (See more details here).
If you edit a message which is not the first one of the thread it will add two more options to the default ones located under the validation button.
You can remove this message by checking the delete box. You can also delete this message plus those that follow in the thread. This is useful in case members gradually go off-topic.
