barring any possible cooperation from the moderator of the Iodine forum (PM ginagirl, please), the real fix is to take VWT off the crossposting list. crossposting is sometimes good, sometimes bad, but alwasy creates more hits. ;)
the Iodine forum was created as an alternative to the VWT, not as a part of it nor to compete with or take it over. they are stand alone forums, one private and one general.
its an easy problem, really.
not having moderator privileges on a thread in a forum you are moderating is a big problem no matter what. the Webmaster should see that.
