  Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
I just finished working a new feature that I think people were asking for. Basically, it's the ability to check and authorize all the posts you have pending with one click.

(...) Well, it works on spamblocked e-mail addresses (those set up at posting setup) not the unblocked addresses that people usually think of as their addresses. That is somewhat counter-intuitive. And since I have yet to receive the e-mail that (...) (19 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) I'll give it a go. (ps, this is a multipurpose post to test with :) (19 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) Well... There are no pending posts for 'dean@earlsoft.co.uk'. What is the spamblocked address Thomas mentioned? (19 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) Ouch, good point. I don't use a spamblock, so I didn't think of that. Hmmm. I might have to think on this a little. (...) Yes, it would be sent there. That's not right. I'll see if I can fix this later today. (19 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) Ok, I think I have a good fix for this in place. Try it now (with new posts)? Thanks! Dan (19 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) Well, that's no good. Can you reproduce that? How did you get there? I'm assuming you approved some posts first? LMK! (19 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) I happened as soon as i visited the link in the email, and happened every time i tried. I have just tried again, and it works. Is there still a delay between them being posted and them appearing in the list? (19 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

  Re: Authenticating multiple posts at once *beta*
 
(...) ... (...) Cool then. I'll update the auth emails with this link, and perhaps we could ask one of the curators to add links on the appropriate sidebars. (19 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
