As I’m diving back into reviewing posts being a big part of my day-to-day tasks, I’m suddenly remembering how much I really wish the moderation overview was a bit more sophisticated. But here’s a very low hanging fruit: next and previous buttons in the ‘Moderate Topic’ view.

Right now to moderate, I open up the moderation overview and right click on everything that is new or has a new reply. I review each in a separate tab, close them out as I go, return to the moderation overview and refresh the tab. It works… but I’d really like the choice of being able to hit ‘next’ or ‘previous’ topic. This is especially true when I’ve got a lot to review and opening up 40-50 extra windows gets confusing fast, especially when I might have to open up another tab to do research. Then I’m struggling to find where I was and tl;dr… I think we can do better.

Thanks @jillian.bejtlich for taking the time to post your idea - I can totally see how next/previous buttons can help you and other moderators. As a workaround for now, something that also works well (at least for me!) is to create a custom view with the topics and replies you want to moderate (in your case, you can filter by “Unread by team” so you see only the new topics or new replies). Then you can, from the custom view, open the topic one by one, the custom page will automatically update once your topic is moderated, so you don’t have to refresh the page. I will keep your idea as open for now, thank you!
