Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted August 6, 200816 yr 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????
August 6, 200816 yr 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?

August 6, 200816 yr 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,
August 7, 200816 yr Why should they be posted the same way as posts or topics when they don't behave the same way? Why shouldnt they be ?
August 7, 200816 yr 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.
August 21, 200816 yr okay--dumb newbie question-- WHERE are announcements on the acp? User CP, Moderator Tools, Manage Announcements.
August 22, 200816 yr 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.
August 22, 200816 yr I rarely make annoucements. I'd hate to have even more controls while posting normally on the forum.
August 23, 200816 yr okay--dumb newbie question-- WHERE are announcements on the acp? Not such a dumb Question many ask about it (inc me) Where is the Announcement button :D and when they find out, they always say, Arhhhh ... thx
August 23, 200816 yr We won't be integrating the post and announcement screens, however, we are aiming to make posting an announcement more accessible to moderators.
