Add an option to disable e-mail address field for anonymous posts?

Thu, 09 Jul 2020 21:55:38 +0000

The question and answer forms contain a checkbox for allowing the user to be notified by mail if there is a response to the question or answer. There is an option to leave the checkbox unchecked by default, but users can still enable it.

That is fine for registered users (who confirmed their e-mail address). However, the checkbox and address field are also available for anonymous users, who could just enter an arbitrary e-mail address, and thus have notifications go to some rando on the internet.

Should there be an option to disable this field entirely for anonymous users?

[Discussion] Changes in Admin section to make it more productive and fast to access

Sat, 21 Oct 2017 17:06:58 +0000

There's no denying that admin section in Q2A is good but there's still a lot of room for improvement. So tell me what do you think about these suggestions?

Most of the time we click on admin, we land on the General page. Change to something useful like Stats page or moderation page. No one in the right mind would like to change General page settings on a regular basis and that's why even WP keeps it separate.
Show some regularly visited admin pages as a submenu on the main website for Admins and Moderators for fast access. Pages like stats, moderation, hidden, flagged can be shown in submenu at all times for quick access and this way even moderators will get to know whether there are some new posts in moderation (because only admin gets the email).
You tell me if there are any new things you would like to made admin section better but using the existing features only.

All that I am saying is, why not use the existing features and make admin sections slightly better to use and fast to access. What do you say about this?

I love the Q2A system and interface and don't want to add a blog or forum to it all I want is the option to start a discussion or ask a question..

I've seen it implemented on http://languagelearningbase.com/ - you'll notice the notes and post a note tabs..

Hows this done most easily? with room for expansion eg polls. My users have suggested I add an option to just discuss things and not always be asking a question.

It would be neat to have a page with responses you got on your comments and answers, like in the Stack Exchange websites. It's not always that easy to discuss things if you have to refresh all the pages you're discussing on.
