in thread New Feature: Claim anonymously posted nodes

I happen to have a new test-user, these are the top 4 nodelets.

*** Settings Nodelet My info User Display Nodelet Timezone Signature Newest Nodes RAT Style + Free Nodelet Personal Nodelet Message Pmdev ignored users *** Domain Nodelet www.com | www.net | www.org *** Chatterbox and all is quiet... How do I use this? • Last hour • Other CB clients **** Other Users

I never said "only nodelet", just that non-beginners will have no problems to activate approval.

    Thanks for checking. I guess there aren't any nodelets at the top of the new-user list that would really be appropriate for this button; that's a bummer. (I was surprised at how high up on the sidebar the Node Status nodelet was for Anonymonk, so I thought it might be similarly-placed for NewbieMonk.)

    Understood. I wasn't trying to argue with you; I just wanted to express my opinion, prompted by your suggestions, that if it is in the Approval nodelet, it should also be somewhere else.

      After some heavy meditation while frying my dinner...

      The msg-author-link Send private /msg to XXX is the perfect spot to position that feature.

      • private msg is anyway deactivated for anomonks
      • the code implementing the Message Outbox just needs to be either cloned or special cased to handle anomonks.
      • i.e out of the box a 2 click interface
      • the node in question is automatically included
      • it's self documenting since it has a documentation area at the bottom

      If anyone is worried about the handful of new users who can't find the claim-button, highlight it till they reach level 10 or something...

      All problems solved.
