Thread issues

mandi
We’ve had a few issues with the threads already. I’m not sure if these are actually issues that need to be fixed or things that we just haven’t figured out how to manage yet. The main issue is that it seems like anyone can create threads? Including regular members? We’ve tried to mess with permissions so they aren’t able to but that doesn’t work. Does anyone know a fix for this or is it a bug? The other issue is that it seems like even more/admins have to be a member of the thread to get notifications from the threads? We want to be able to watch what’s going on in them but sometimes but not always be in the members list

    We're having the same issue. It seems that any role, regardless of the fact that they dont have any of the thread permissions, can make a thread. Also, we're having the issue that anyone can kick anyone else from the thread, even if they have admin perms. Unless I'm missing something, this seems like a flaw that makes threads a massive headache to deal with

    Seems like anyone can unarchive threads as well. Definitely a huge headache. Hopefully these issues will be worked out before it rolls out to all servers

    It seems that sometimes the auto-archiving isn't triggert. I have a thread in which nobody wrote for 24hours and it was still active. And one time two threads were opened instead of only one

    The permission of creating threads is given to users who have these two permissions on:

    - Send Messages

    - Use Threads

    Mark that "use private/public threads" was on per default when enabling threads, so you may need to go through all your roles checking if the "use threads" permission is disabled. 

    Once it is disabled, people will no longer be able to create threads, but they will be able to participate in existing threads (eg threads you created as an admin, or threads created by your mods that may have the "manage threads" permission). 

    I hope that helps <3

    Happy threading.
