Re: Queued posts
I am afraid, that there is no such feature in Forus, but you could use the module "new Forum Posts" in a wiki page and try out if that would meet your requirements.
See here: PluginModule
Additinally you can get notifications of new frum posts.
As I use both, I do not the need for a dedicated forum funtionality for queued posts.
There are more advanced features in Tiki like "Unified Ssearch" and "Plugin List", which might be feasible to realise such a functionaliy to your needs by configuration. Yet these features need advanced and specific knowledge.
Hope that helps,
Torsten
