  Contributers on my blog are able to view other contributers’ comments before I have approved them as the administrator. I use the blog for high school students and sometimes don’t want them seeing each other’s work before a certain date. How can I keep contributers from seeing other comments before they’re approved?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Dashboard > Settings > Discussion > make sure the box next to “Before a comment appears, An administrator must always approve the comment” is checked :)

  I have that setting checked so that I have to moderate all comments. However, as contributers, they are still able to see pending comments before I approve them–not on the actual blog page, but through the “manage my blogs” button under their account button in the top right corner.
