Post fields#
| Block | Contents |
|---|---|
| Classification | parent post, categories (possibly several) |

| Content | subject, text, external link |
| Images | the first one is the main one |
| Moderation | allow comments, banned, deactivated, deleted, reported |
| Promotion | promoted until |
Moving within the tree#
A post can be moved by dragging in the list, or by changing its parent post.
Anything can be moved anywhere
The system does not check whether it makes sense. Dragging a reply under another topic breaks the conversation and readers stop understanding what was being replied to. Move with care.
Deleting from the list deletes every reply beneath it
Deleting the opening post makes the whole thread disappear. To remove just one post in the middle, delete it from its own detail.
Locking a thread#
There is no such thing. The closest is turning Allow comments off on the post, or deactivating it.
Say in the post why it is being closed
Without an explanation it looks like a fault. Add a note at the end of the text and only then turn comments off.
Moderation#
| Flag | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Reported | readers flagged it; go through these first |
| Deactivated | temporarily hidden, can be undone |
| Banned | action against the author |
| Deleted | removed; softly, the data stays |
Deactivate contentious posts rather than deleting them
If the author gets in touch, you have something to show.
Thumb ratings#
A post counts thumbs up and down. It uses the shared ratings component.
Older posts may show zero thumbs
Votes from the previous version of the forum were not carried into the new counter. It is not a display fault.
Images#
Uploaded by dragging, reordered by dragging, the first one is the main one.
Saving replaces the entire image list
If the upload field is not rendered on save — JavaScript off, a page error — the post saves without its attachments. Check the images after editing.
The author's password#
A post entered without logging in carries a password for later editing.
It cannot be changed or cleared in the administration
If the author forgets it, the only route is to edit the post on their behalf.
