Extra Checkmark Boxes In Forum Permissions Field

Ravenfreak · 7 months ago · 2 replies · 506

Hey Cedric, maybe this isn't a bug but it's something odd that I noticed whenever I was setting up forum permissions on my board. I noticed that there are some extra check mark boxes just below the Administrators permissions. Additionally the group on the left side is unlabeled, I know they are there to check all the boxes for the group so they get all the permissions. It looks a bit odd IMO and I wanted to bring it up. Here's a screenshot of what I mean. Is this section supposed to be for bot access?

When you check all boxes below it automatically checks every permission for View, read, ... Basically giving a "shortcut". I do agree that it can be confusing. I will likely redesign this bit, but for now this is a low priority.

Moving that row to the top would be a quick fix that would most likely make it less confusing. I feel like the issue here is that it is not very intuitive to fill out the permissions for each group and then end up on a row without a description. If it were placed above the rows, I think most users would understand what it's for and if not, if they would click it, they would find out before manually filling out the permissions for the groups.
