I started posting in my forum and I have messages set to where I have to approve them.
Why does the forum now say, "Approved in 3 minutes"? Why do I have to wait 3 minutes if I am approving posts?
I am using the desktop on Windows.

Approved is past tense. The item has been approved. 3 mins ago or so.

Sounds like the clock on your PC is slow by 4 or 5 minutes, and the client is getting confused (so your browser gets a post timestamp from the server saying "approved at 14:00", your browser thinks it is 13:57 so thinks it was approved in the future "in 3 minutes").

Found regex match: approve
It looks like you're asking about approving posts or users. These are frequently-asked questions.
