It's been reported to me that some URLs which contain commas are not displaying as proper links on my site. I've just done a test on this site and received the same result. Here's an example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Mary's_Church,_Broadwater

If I create a link using the toolbar, then this URL works fine:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Mary's_Church,_Broadwater

The issue is not consistent. Only some pages with commas don't work, not all. Here's one that does work:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diners,_Drive-Ins_and_Dives

So far, the only reports I've received are about wikipedia pages. Could there be a conflict in links that have both apostrophes and commas?

thanks

Interesting. I'll wait for it.

I would like to remove spammers from my list of members, so it only shows genuine members. I don't want to delete the spammer's IP, email and other details, in case they seek to rejoin my forum, just remove them from my list of members. Is this possible?

Many thanks

Can there please be a option to create a internal moderator thread for each reported item?

Thank you

Can the list of reported items have a complete overhaul and use the standard view and filter options that the rest of the forum now uses?

My suggestions, as crudely shown in the above picture:

1. Add a Reported By/Reporter column - this is to easily identify who has reported the content. Perhaps with their avatar too??

2. Add a filter option - like in the main forum.

3. Eliminate the sidebar - like option two, this would create a uniform view of content.

Thank you

Currently, as shown in this recent report I received, the reporter of content is placed at the bottom of the report, can the above information please be moved to the top of the report instead?

thank you

The above image shows the bottom of a report I received recently, but as you can see that while there is a space to insert internal mod comments, there is nowhere to actually reply to the person who made the report. Can this please be added?

Thank you

Quote from Xenforo

When a URL is inserted into content and that URL exists on its own line within the content, we will "unfurl" it to a richer preview which includes the page title, metadata logo, description and favicon. Such rich previews add more context for users as to what the link contains. URL unfurling can be used anywhere that accepts BB code currently.

The functionality is enabled by default, but you can switch it off if you want to in the "Messages" section of the Admin CP

Most of the time I am pasting links from news websites and posting the first paragraph from those sites, but this feature would automate all of that and would be a massive time saver and enable faster content creation.

Can it please be considered for WoltLab?

Thank you

Danke.

Quote from Matthias Schmidt

Delete User’s Content

The best protection against spam might not be enough in rare situations and a spammer might start new threads, posts on existing threads, or comment on events and images. Deleting the content of a user is now much easier: The user list in the admin panel offers a new “Delete User’s Content” option that opens a dialog in which you can select the content to delete

This is needed, but I think what was requested was a "one click" stop spammer option, which not only deleted the spammer's content, but banned the spammer at the same time. Could that be considered, please?

I always put the German threads through the Google translator and sometimes they make sense and sometimes they don't, but as its where the vast bulk of the knowledge and info is about the WoltLab software, English speakers should at least try to read the German threads.

After I have moved threads to the trash, I apply the filter to only show the deleted threads, I then select them all and then delete them. But once I've deleted them, I get a error message as shown in the first pic. Well, as you can see, it's not a error message, just the text not displaying correctly. Only after I've refreshed the page, does the text display correctly.

Not sure what's going on, but here's the pics:

Error message after filtered threads permanently deleted:

After page refresh, error page cleared and text now being displayed correctly:

Just bumping this thread, but as I asked before, can item 3 be tweaked please?

Several of my members have commentated that the caret disappears when inserting a image into a post containing text, not realizing that the caret is immediately to the right of the image which is very hard to see. Can the caret simply be moved below the image onto a new line?

thank you

It can't be done currently, hence my suggestion for this feature to be added.

Can there be a option in the ACP to remove the category pages, please?

I want all my forums and sub-forums to link back to the main forum index page and I can see no reason why clicking on categories should load separate pages. I suppose a simple solution would be to make the category titles un-clickable.

thanks

There is no notification send to a user if their thread title has changed by a mod, or if their thread has been merged with another one? Can these features be added please?

thanks

jupiter

Bloody hell, that was fast!

Danke Alexander Ebert .

If two threads are merged, no in-thread modification notice appears. Can this be changed please and can WoltLab ensure that in-thread mod notices happen for all mod actions to threads.

It is confusing for users if changes happen to threads, especially a merge of two or more different threads and no notice appears in the merged thread.

thanks
