Cool Surfer Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I was wondering why is a moderator /admin punished to goto his control panel to make or edit announcement?? Why not let him post them like any new topic etc???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 You have an odd definition of the word "punished". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Announcements aren't the same thing as posts/topics, they can go in multiple forums, they don't have replies, they just have a title instead of both a title and description, you can't make polls in them, you can't attach files to them, etc. Why should they be posted the same way as posts or topics when they don't behave the same way?

Cool Surfer Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Michael you still have to go to ur control panel to edit the announcement. Why not have those edit buttons be visible under announcements anywhere > then > just click n edit it, instead of going to my controls. OR Have another moderator function in that drop down list under a post the moderator is seeing. like POST THIS TOPIC AS ANNOUNCEMENT with maybe furthur 2 more options of apply changes to only this announcement or to all announcements posted wherever, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy T Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Why shouldnt they be ? Thinking the same thing it would make it much easier. Like in the menu where it has pin this topic had the option of have this as an announcement. That way you would have all the features Micheal said were missing.

Cool Surfer Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Or if the announcement is like just pinning a topic, with extra advanced option saying display this post / announce in > then a box showing all forums that can be selected. Soething like when we set permissions for a forum and we can highlight admin, members, guests, banned etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jυra Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I rarely make annoucements. I'd hate to have even more controls while posting normally on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikki Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 We won't be integrating the post and announcement screens, however, we are aiming to make posting an announcement more accessible to moderators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
