Twice now (in a pre-caffienated state), I've typed CB message into the approval nodelet. After the second time, I tried to move it to a safe place below the CB, only to discover that that the Approval nodelet isn't moveable.

My petition is thus: Please make the Approval nodelet moveable.

Thanks for considering this.

    Alternate suggestion, Can it be styled special? Invert the foreground and text colors in it. I've not done it yet but I've come close as well.

    Visit user settings, look under 'non-frontpage nodelets', and you can move it anywhere you like. I've just verified that it works. Now to put it back where it belongs...

      It isn't listed there in my user settings. chromatic mentioned privately that the personal nodelet seemed to get in his way when he was testing this. It removed my personal nodelet and still didn't see the approval nodelet listed in the non-frontpage nodelets (just a checkbox for it under frontpage nodelets and no option to move it there either).

      I was about to add that I didn't have this in my settings, either. Then it occurred to me that when I originally had problems seeing the approval nodelet at all, the problem was solved by manually selecting which nodelets to show (rather than accepting the default). Well, the same thing works on "non-frontpage nodelets". Select which nodelets to add, and voila!, the settings page now lets you arrange them manually.

      This solves my immediate problem, though there really isn't a good trail of breadcrumbs for the next puzzled monk to follow. Nothing I could find in the documentation described this settings page behavior.

      Update: NOT solved. The approval nodelet seems determined to stay stuck below the XP nodelet, right in harm's way.

    Definitely a good idea. I had the same problem a couple of days ago.
    Move it below the chatterbox.

    In the end, there can be only one!
