The Old Man Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 When I click on the Start New Topic feature here in this Developer Connection forum, it works great and takes me straight to the post editor. However I noticed if you use the button in Community Manager's Lounge forum, it throws a superflousous modal asking me to choose a forum to post the topic in, despite there being only the 1 forum.

My Sharona Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 By no means do I know anything, about anything but in case it matters. I just tried to create a new topic and was taken directly to the new thread creation. Chrome browser here. The Old Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Man Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Thanks, I was using Firefox on Win10 at the time. I tried it just now in the same forum using my iPad (Safari) and it took me straight to the form too. My Sharona 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 On first glance, it looks to be something related to the browser. I'll send this up to the devs to see whether it is something that needs looking into. I am using the latest version of Microsoft Edge and it takes me straight through to writing up the new topic in the Developer Connection forum. Thanks for letting us know, @The Old Man. I'll follow up with any findings. The Old Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) It's already been fixed on here (and is unrelated to the browers being used) by turning off the combined fluid view on the forum (it was in the "Community Managers ..." forum, not in this one, but the way) Easy to reproduce: Create a forum Create a sub-forum in that form Back to the first forum - go to display settings and enable combined fluid view in the display settings Go to the front-end and view the forum - click 'start new topic' and you get the dialog with 2 forums to choose from Back to the ACP - delete the sub-forum Back to the front-end, refresh the forum - click 'start new topic' and you get the dialog with only 1 forum to choose from Back to the ACP - edit the forum, look at the the combined fluid view setting and it is off (but it isn't really...click save and now it is) Back to the front-end, refresh the forum - click 'start new topic' and it now goes to the form as there is only one forum available, so no dialog.
