Thread Visibility

Thread Visibility
by Tyson Onaga on Aug 7, 2012 at 9:37:10 pm

Just wondering if COW will fix the thread visibility issue where posts by newbies are only visible if you are not logged in. I've seen several threads that the wiz-bangs here could probably answer in a flash but they're only visible if you're not logged into COW.

Is that's what's happening?

You know, the other day I saw a post that I was going to answer but I couldn't answer until I signed in and once I signed in I couldn't find the post anymore!!! I thought I was going crazy... (ok so I could still be going crazy but you know what I mean) ;-)

I would send an email to the Web Admin and I'm sure they will look into it.

This is not a bug, but is discussed in this thread here:

Feel free to add your feedback to that thread.

Wow, that's pretty clever. I didn't realize that filter was there. Thanks,

You can turn it off in your account settimgss. It's called "Hide Newbe Posts."

[Abraham Chaffin] "You can turn it off in your account settimgss. It's called "Hide Newbe Posts.""

I'm sorry but I can't find it. When tab is this setting under? Core, Profile, Extra, Subscriptions, Services, or Events?

With all due respect to it's intent, this seems like a ridiculous setting for forum moderators. If moderators don't want to answer newbe questions, perhaps they shouldn't be moderators.

It's under the core tab. You might discuss your site suggestions in the COWmunications forum, in the thread I referenced earlier, where your feedback will get proper attention.

Yea, people were probably thinking, "why isn't JR and Steve answering our questions? are they too good for us?" lol

I don't like the fact that these features are added and the moderators aren't told about it. Maybe we should have a moderator newsletter to keep us informed?
