Hidden topics aren't red anymore

[Gabriel Torres]

Hi,

Since the upgrade to 4.3.x we noticed that hidden topics aren't displayed with a red background anymore (inside the topic itself; it still shows with a red background the topic list). Is this a bug or by design?

Thanks!

noticed that too

I will ask the support department.

Only hidden posts got their background changed:

@Adriano Faria Yep, but not when the entire topic is hidden...

Yeah, I know... my post is to show how it is today; not sure it has changed as I don't remember the whole topic "red".

My hidden topics still show pink, with an icon, and the posts inside the topic show pink too.

Default theme?

I'm on 4.3.6, 3rd-party apps and plugins disabled and shows like that:

Only the FA "eye-slash" shows up. Posts are not in the "moderated" class background. The whole topic is hidden. It works on forum view:

Yes, apart from simple colour and font customisations. On 4.3.6 and with all plugins and apps enabled. Topics are pink in forum view, and all posts within a hidden topic are pink.

Even though I use custom.css for a number of colour and other customisations, I've also used the Easy Editor (or whatever it's called) in themes. The colours for moderation are amongst the very few I haven't changed:

The icon next to the topic title denotes that it is not visible ... is there any reason you want the entire page to be pink?

[Gabriel Torres]

@bfarber Yes, it helps a lot with moderation. We quickly know that the entire topic is hidden. Only having an icon is not a "strong" enough indicator, IMHO.

In many cases, you may temporarily hide a topic while moderating individual posts within the topic. Having the entire page 'pink' -- normal posts and already hidden posts -- is very confusing. Further, the new(er) "deleted content" feature also utilizes topic view so you can view the content in context. If the topic is hidden and an admin/moderator is reviewing why content was deleted, this would again be confusing if the entire page is pink. 

I've moved this topic to the feedback forum and you are welcome to provide suggestions (short of making the whole page pink) if you don't feel the eye slash icon is sufficient.

Fro me this is not sufficient, because if I jump by link not to the first message but to the first unread, I have no clue that the topic is hidden or not. I agree that it is ggod to have the hidden posts different color, but the whole topic background shoudl also be not white (defaut).
