Go to the forum options admin tab and turn on the display of the ‘Admin Tool Icons’. This will give you the approve tool.

You should most certainly be logged in if you are logged in in WP. if it is stating that you are not then you probably have a display problem. Check the User and Troubleshooting Guide to see if any of the problems in there are similar to yours. The Guide, by the way, also tells you how to use the admin tools. In fact, it tells you most things you ma want to know.

I’m having the exact same problem. I’ve got like 20 posts already, but even I can’t view them as admin, and I see no means of approving them.

When I view the topic, all I get is "There are No Posts for this Topic."

I’m running WPMU, I’m not sure if that makes a difference.

Indeed I did:

//define(’SFUSERS’, $wpdb->prefix.’users’);
//define(’SFUSERMETA’, $wpdb->prefix.’usermeta’);
define(’SFUSERS’, ‘wp_users’);
define(’SFUSERMETA’, ‘wp_usermeta’); 

I also checked my wp-config.php to make sure wp_ was correct, and checked the DB as well.

Ah. Good news.
