Think I understand why, can you try now here at the site ?
I change lines 175-182 of active.asp to:
if mlev <> 4 then
strSql = strSql & " AND ((T.T_AUTHOR <> " & MemberID &_
" AND T.T_STATUS < 2)" ' Ignore unapproved/held posts
if mlev = 3 and ModofForums <> "" then
strSql = strSql & " OR T.FORUM_ID IN " & ModOfForums
end if
strSql = strSql & " OR T.T_AUTHOR = " & MemberID & ")"
end if
