Hello Everyone 👋!

Today we are releasing NodeBB 3.8.0. Please read below for all the changes in this release.

Moderation Improvements 🔨

We made some improvements on the user account info page. Namely:

Unmutes and Unbans will show up in the user history. If the account is flagged it will show up in the "Latest Flags" section. Moderation notes are editable. Username & email history will show who made the change.

Bug fixes & Misc 🐛

As usual there are plenty of bug fixes in this release.

Full list of closed issues.

Let us know if you run into any issues in our support thread.

I am using AWS SES and when I do a test email it works without issues, however when a new user registers they don't get the email validation and when I try resending it doesn't work either.

Hi,

I am looking for a feature to handle moderation notes separately from user posts. Currently, admins/mods edit posts in their own way to include moderation messages, but I prefer a dedicated feature for this.

Details:

Separate Moderation Section:

A distinct section for moderation notes, appended but clearly separate from the user's content. Example: A box or highlighted area at the top or bottom of the post or in the signature

Distinct Styling:

Formatting options to make moderation notes stand out (different font, color, borders).

Admin Tools:

Easy access for moderators to add, edit, or remove notes via a simple interface.

Possible benefits:

Maintains original post integrity. Provides clear communication on moderation actions. Enhances user experience and transparency.

Thank you for considering this request.

Best regards
dave
