I always use newest nodes.

I saw a question, so I clicked it, typed reply, and post it, accidentally I glanced at the right side of the screen, and then realized that the question actually had yet been approved.

But there was no way to approve it on that page.

Now you are seeing me clicking the link to SOPW, after the link is loaded, scroll down to the bottom and approve it.

Is it possible to make this a little bit easier, so that I can approve it on the same page I typed my reply ;-?

    If you turn on the "Approval" nodelet, you'll be able to approve a node from anywhere that it makes sense to do so. It generally "makes sense" to approve a node while viewing that particular node, and in fact, the Approval Nodelet is conscious of the node currently being viewed. It doesn't make sense to approve a node from a "Comment on" page, because the Approval nodelet is conscious of the node you're currently viewing, which, when you're typing a reply, happens to be the "Comment on" node.

    If anything it might be helpful to extend the "Approval Nodelet" so that it allows one to choose whether a particular action targets the parent node or the current node. But that sounds like a mess, and is likely to contribute to even more errant considerations.

    Possible, probably. Worth it? Not really. Just get in the habit of looking at the nodelet when you look at the actual node, before replying?

    To save yourself scrolling to the bottom, you could always put the Approval Nodelet at the top.. See your user settings or Nodelet Settings

    Which reminds me, I wanted collapsible nodelets, anyone? ,)

      Collapsible nodelets++.

      Great idea. Then I could hide away the CB when not needed without having to visit my user preferences. ...a visit to user preferences for the purpose of turning on/off a nodelet gets them all disarranged too, so just collapsing them would make keeping them in the order I like easier.

      And while we're on the topic... how about an Inbox nodelet and moving /msg's out of the CB? Just another evil thought I suppose... ;)
