We are in the process of upgrading the site. Let me look into that now.

Has there been any resolution figured out for this problem. It still appears that any blogs posted after the site update have not gone through. (Screen shot from today).

Strange, I can't even find where to list "moderated" blog entries.. I'll have to look into this.

Still occurring with new blogs. And I tried just now both to create a blog, and make a post/entry into my existing blog, with the same issue. Just as an fyi for your troubleshooting.

I believe I have this fixed, though I've never used the blogs system anywhere so this will be a learning experience.

I got notifications for each of my test blog posts that they've been approved. Don't know if they'll continue requiring approval or not though. Want me to create another one to check?

Mine has been approved now too. Just tried to comment on yours though and it looks like this.

just reposted a video and I got

"This message is awaiting moderator approval, and is invisible to normal visitors."

Now to wait and see how long that takes

I now have the option to approve those posts, where before I didn't see anything. So should be that way from now on for all blog posts/comments I'm guessing.
Thanks. I don't suppose there's any likelihood of turning the approval off completely (in line with all the discussion threads)?

That's above my (non) pay grade. Not sure if this is intentional(spam and advertising/marketing posts can easily masquerade as blogs) or a blip in the backend workings.

The submit comments to blogs without approval was not enabled, and it now is... The UBS blog add-on has about 9000 permissions to set across 9 different areas, it is very easy to miss stuff and very confusing. I wish it wasn't this cumbersome, my apologies.

Thanks for working on and fixing it. So far, everything seems to be working.
