bbPress & resolved topics
-
Has bbPress here on WordPress.com been changed in the way it handles topics that have been marked “resolved”?
When I mark a topic as resolved in the german forum it nowadays seems to loose its “resolved” status as soon as someone (including me) adds another post to the topic.

I thought I read something about getting updated bbpress for the forums but now I cannot find it.
May could be gossip or “The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind…”
At any rate I’ve noticed it as well. Not my bad memory or gossip, but a sign things will change???

What a relief. :) I’m not the only one noticing it.
I really started to get the impression this has always been the normal bbPress behaviour and I got something wrong over the years.
So thanks for the confirmation. :)

Hi Martin,
Upgrading bbPress is definitely on our list of things to do, but nothing’s changed recently.

@timethief, yes. I tested it myself and it did not change when I posted (I deleted my post), but it did when you did. So staff can post without it changing the status, but others posting does change it.

OK, but the resolved status used to stay in place even when we (Tess, timethief and I) posted to an already resolved topic back in the days. So unless my memory serves me wrong, someone must have changed something.
The problem is when a user posts to an already “resolved” topic instead of creating a new one, because in his/her eyes it deals with the same problem. The idea behind the resolved label is to find topics during a search which are worth looking into it, isn’t it?
As a result, we moderators constantly have to reassign the “resolved” status to topics which means a lot of annoying, repetitive work.

Martin,
I totally get what you’re saying. It’s a fair point.
I’m going to report it to the developers who handle the forums and see what they can shake loose.

One other thing, Martin and others…
Can you link me to any specific threads here or in the German support forums where this has occurred? And can you recall a specific time when it might have started?
Hmm, guess that’s two things. :)
-
Here are some topics, where it happend once or sometimes multiple times. :)
- “Forever”-Theme – Probleme mit der Dynamik der Header-Fotos & Zitat in Footer
- Account gesperrt
- Konto löschen
- Finde die Kommentarfunktion beim Truly Minimal nicht
Unfortunately I can’t recall a specific time. If I had to guess, I would say somewhere around end of june to beginning of july. But don’t count on it.

@Jackiedana
I can’t recall which threads they were. I believe the time this started happening may have been about a month ago or so. -

Thanks again everyone. I’ve officially reported the issue now, and will keep you all posted from here.
-
And an update!
It looks like these changes were made about 6 months ago along with some modifications of the tools the staff use for managing the forums. All of your concerns have been noted and this issue was added to the list of modifications for the forums. This means, although it won’t be resolved immediately, we are taking your feedback seriously.

Thanks guys, this is helpful.
As far as I know, timethief is a girl/woman. ;)
Cheers

Oops, a typo. I added the wrong smiley. It should have been a “:)” instead of “;)”, but I can’t edit my last post.
