Yep thats fixed it both in the API and in front end. Thank you.

Well at least I am not the only one @BDHarrington7 - I have changed this thread to a question thread and marked it as unsolved.

We are looking to run a private community using NodeBB but we seem to be unable to lock down things like the user profiles and user list; both the pages and the API endpoints. Is there something I am missing or is it just not possible to user NodeBB to run a private community?

Editing the post is open to the OP so moderator messages could be faked or changed. Moderator comments would be a fairly good way to put it perhaps, but they would be surfaced as part of the OP not further down the reply thread.

Moderator / Admin messages - It would be great if administrators / moderators could added messages to a post. This would could be used to explain why a topic had been moved or forked or even to warn that a post is a duplicate or perhaps explain why its been locked.

If this could be created or if it exists already please let me know

You sir are a legend; thank you

@pichalite No; no... I am taking that as basically some sort of solid immutable contract.

@julian Thank you

I had a look and nhitchins was apparently last online about a year ago which is roughly when the plugin was last updated. Does seem to have the air of an abandoned plugin.

@pichalite do you think you will fork this and merge your PR?
