Moderating comments on blog entries

[Goodbye Blue Monday]

Where do we go to approve or delete comments for a moderated blog entry?

When I went to the entry itself, I saw a pending comment, but there was no button to approve it - only one to report it, which wasn't what I wanted to do with that particular comment. Help!

I would like to know too. I never checked the box to automatically moderate comments on my blog, but the more annoying issue is when the comment gets moderated by itself and won't show up for other users.

I know that for some reason, posting a link - even if you don't parse it - in a blog entry automatically forces it so that the comment has to be approved. Regardless of whether comments are set to be approved, what the link is to, the placing/style of the link, and even who you are (I've had to approve my own comments w/links on my own blog before!). It just doesn't care. Pain in the ass that can only be described by the phrase "blame the vBulletin guys." There may be other instances that cause it to have a heart attack as well, but this is the main one that I'm sure of.

To mess with a comment, look for the checkbox next to them and click it. Now go down to just above the comments box, where the "Moderation (X)" is, and you should be be able to do whatever it is you want to do from the menu in there.

The 'link' one is the faulty spambot catcher or something like that. However, Missingno. posted a simple 'Have fun!' comment on one of my blogs and it still got auto-glitch-moderated for the lulz some reason. I can see the comment myself, though, and that's all that really matters.

And thanks for the tip, but I never bother approving comments, so there's no checkbox in comments section.
