You can check the star_rating image path in your star_ratings.css under your theme's css styles.

My pals got round it by having the uploaders upload to one forum and then going to the forum and checking for unapproved posts. Once approved they move the thread and the "move" pm is the approval PM so an uploader knows their item is live o the board. Its still manual though, and without the alert for posts awaiting approval having something moved to another forum automatically is going to be a bigger pain if you intend to have an approval process.

If you're going to require approval for threads, I don't think there's any way around to get it to be automatic (a machine can't do the approval).
But this should work regardless of whether you're using separate forums, or thread fields for categorisation.
If you want the ability for users to edit their thread whilst unapproved, or a notice, similar to reported posts, about unapproved posts, I'd say they're probably suited as another plugin.

You've lost me there.
A category filled with category threads which are filled with said category.  Uh...?

I agree Zinga - I am perfectly happy with what I have though - I was more trying to give some input to the OP on what kind of problems he could face - that's all.
