'move topic' in our UI has been temporarily moved to the bottom of the moderation options list for quicker finding.
For some wierd reason, this forces it to be at the bottom of a scrolling list (never had a scrollbar on the list before?) so now to use it it's slower, requires opening the tool menu then scrolling down, instead of just opening the menu and picking it from the list. Maybe put it at the top of that list instead? Or just above "View logs", which would put it just inside the visible part of the scrolling menu.
Alternately, perhaps just take out the "Merge Topic" option, since that's not really useful in the form it's been in for a version or two. Then it should put the bottom menu option (whatever it is) just inside the visible part of the scrollbar, or perhaps even eliminate the bar. "Delete Topic" would also be ok to remove, since it's "dangerous" and shouldn't need to be used anyway.
Note that the new scrollbar list only happens in the firefox I have to use for using the forum, not in chrome. (but moving it to the top of the list would still fix it...though it is not as fast to access, as the bottom of the list puts it next to where the cursor is from clicking the dropdown so is fastest location, so the other options of taking out Merge Topic and/or Delete Topic would be better for all cases).
I have also added an additional moderator tools icon at the top for quicker location to speed up the process.
This doesn't show up for me in any browser. I just get the regular topic tools like subscribe/etc.
There's an insane amount of miscategorized posts including build threads in this category.
In every category, becuase at least some posters don't appear to care much where they put their stuff (and/or don't even look to see if there is a better place, and in some cases deliberately (as they themselves state) put it in the wrong place to draw attention to it.
)
I wish it was practical to have an AI of sorts that looked at the post and/or title when the post is submitted, and suggested a better place to put it if it appears to be a mismatch.
I've moved a few big posts already but will do a big round tomorrow.
Yesterday I did a few in the oldest threads, but didnt' get very far, as expected.
