When members submit a reciprocal link, the link is added directly to the site without being held for validation. I have the "Needs validation" switch on in the usergroup settings. Is there any reason why this would be happening?
This is really strange. Submitted rss feeds and the links in the feeds are held for validation. Individual link submissions are not held for validation. Suggested categories are also not being held for validation. I double-checked, and the "Member" usergroup needs validation for both links and categories.
Is there any file that might be corrupted or permissions error that could be causing this? This shouldn't be happening according to my usergroup settings. Would you like me to submit a diagnostic or take a look at my site?
I sent you an email. I did not see the link held in validation, and it is listed in the directory. I also noticed another recently submitted link added without validation.

Not that I can see. Doesn't happen for me.

It's bound to be some differing setting somewhere that interacts with the permissions differently than in my default setup. Site inspection should be able to find it: scripts.webmastersite.net/w...dex.php?section=inspection

Confirmed that they are, in fact, held for validation on your site.

Hi Paul,
I sent you an email. I did not see the link held in validation, and it is listed in the directory. I also noticed another recently submitted link added without validation.

For readers: this had to do with the 'timed reciprocal verification' switch auto-validating once a day. Fixed.
