I’ve just upgraded our forum to the latest, then was able to reproduce the following:

- View that a post is moderated
- approve it
- navigate to that post (\*)
- Post a reply
- Immediately get notified that I need to approve my post.

I’m an admin/moderator on the forum in question.. what site settings might be effecting this?
