Ok I'll double-check that and ask him to test, then I'll report back. Thank you!

No that topic is not marked as solved. I can see "Mark as Solution" on every post inside the topic but my mod can't.

Make sure the forum the topic is in has the solve setting enabled too: ACP > FORUMS > Forums > [Select Forum] > Edit > Display Settings TAB > Enable Solved?

Thanks! Yes it does, and I can see (and use) it. We're looking at the exact same post in the same thread in the same forum, too. 

I have a moderator who've allowed to set best answer/solved for questions and he stil doesn't see the "Mark as Solution" link at the bottom of a post like I (the admin) can. We're both looking at the same exact post in the same forum. 

Here are his permissions: 

Thank you @opentype!

@Marc Stridgen Yes, however I believe that's likely to be less work than it is currently, to move back nearly every single post to the main forum when they're posted in the wrong places. I'll experiment with it. 

I have one main forum and several less important forums. Users should almost always post in the main forum. 

When someone clicks Start New Topic on the home page, a forum selector opens. Is it possible to bypass that forum selector and instead automatically create the topic in the main forum?

Thanks!

Because the 500 errors are server errors, you should contact your host and ask them to help.

I actually just submitted a quick plugin to disable the topic preview. It's pending approval here in the IPS Marketplace and already available on my site:

The plugin has only a setting to exclude certain forums, not themes though. Maybe I'll consider it for a future version.

Wow you're fast! That's great. 

I think if you're making a plug-in then ideally (if possible) it should have a simple switch for users to turn the preview on or off in their account settings. That way one doesn't have to create two themes just to change that setting. 

I duplicated the theme and edited the original, so that users can still choose to see the previews if they want! 😀

If you want to edit the template thought just find this code in "forums > front > forums > topicRow" (line ~113):

<a href='{$row->url( "getPrefComment" )}' class='' title='{{if $row->mapped('title')}}{$row->mapped('title')}{{else}}{lang="content_deleted"}{{endif}} {{if $row->canEdit()}}{lang="click_hold_edit"}{{endif}}' {{if $row->tableHoverUrl and $row->canView()}} data-ipsHover data-ipsHover-target='{$row->url()->setQueryString('preview', 1)}' data-ipsHover-timeout='1.5'{{endif}}{{if $row->canEdit()}} data-role="editableTitle"{{endif}}>

and replace it with (basically remove the data-ipsHover attributes):

<a href='{$row->url( "getPrefComment" )}' class='' title='{{if $row->mapped('title')}}{$row->mapped('title')}{{else}}{lang="content_deleted"}{{endif}} {{if $row->canEdit()}}{lang="click_hold_edit"}{{endif}}' {{if $row->canEdit()}} data-role="editableTitle"{{endif}}>

That worked great. Thanks again.

No, there's no specific setting to disable it. You can either edit it out of the template or have a plugin made to disable it. Going the plugin way will keep your templates unedited and any future updates to it will automatically apply, which is what I usually suggest.

Great, thanks a lot for the detailed answer, I appreciate it!

Is there a way to disable the preview that pops-up when you leave your mouse over a topic title when you're inside a forum?

You can also probably hide via custom CSS ( li cCreate ).

Thank you (and thanks to @Nathan Explosion). Because there's also a separator right after that "Create" link that I also wanted to hide I ended up using this: 

/* Hide "Create" link next to bell and letter icons in the header */
li#cCreate li#cCreate+li.elUserNav_sep {
    display:none;
}

There is no way in which to remove that without customisation to your theme. To note however, this is not just for events. Its for the creation of any content item, including topics

Thank you. I'll customize the CSS then, no problem, just wanted to make sure that was the way to handle it. Since there's a big "Start new topic" button a few pixels below I feel that link is redundant for my site.

You would go to System>Site Featureds>Applications and click "Enabled" next to the calendar application if you wish to just disable that application

Ok I don't know how I didn't see it, I was just on that page trying everything. 🤦‍♂️

Then disable the calendar application, or restrict access to it?

How can I disable it? I tried removing permissions for all, but the "create" button remains. Do I have to uninstall the app?

Since my site is only a forum and I don't need user to create events, I would like to know how to remove the + Create ▼ link that appears in the header. 

I understand.

My concern is for users who are less comfortable with computers in general (we have a few of them), who may not even know anything about dark mode and that would be very surprised by the new look and think they have done something wrong and not recognize the website.

if you enable dark mode then your website will also load in dark mode color scheme 🙂 

Thank you for your answer!

However my concern is that even if a user has dark mode enabled on their OS, they may be used to light mode on my website and I wouldn't want them to suddenly see a dark mode that they're not used to. 

So anyway if you have a setting to disable that behavior and keep light mode by default for all in your next version, I'll wait for that!

Thanks. 

Great, thanks a lot Marc!

I've noticed this on my board, and now I just experienced it on this board as well. 

I just received a Push notification (Chrome browser) "Your topic was solved!". Clicking it loads the following "Sorry — Page not found" page (the preview here looks correct but if you click the topic title or the arrow icon you'll see what I mean). 

By comparison, clicking the same notification in my notification pop-up menu on this site loads the correct page:

Got it, thank you!

I noticed that I can select a topic and choose to Feature it. However I can't see what that does to the topic exactly? I searched but couldn't find the answer. Thanks!

Thanks a lot @Nathan Explosion !
