Hello
Is it normal that a “note to staff” can be viewed by everybody, even not connected !
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around the “note to staff” feature, which can be viewed by everyone, even when not connected. Jean-Michel25 initially questioned its visibility, but ondrej clarified that it’s a staff notice intended to be seen by users. The confusion stemmed from the feature’s name, with Canapin attributing it to a translation issue. Canapin suggested a revised translation, “Ajouter une note des responsables,” but later agreed with Jean-Michel25 that “Afficher une note des responsables” would be more accurate. pfaffman suggested alternative names, such as “public notice” or “announcement,” to avoid confusion with private staff notes.
Hello,
This is expected behaviour. It is a staff notice this hints that it is meant to be noticed by users that are logged in and not logged in. See more information below.
OK.
It is a public comment for staff, not a private message for staff.
Thanks !
Here is an example of it in action
Maybe you are referring to whispers?
Maybe a bad translation is causing the confusion?
Yes, this a translation issue:
Literally “Add a note for the staff”.
Should be “Ajouter une note des responsables” or something like that.
edit: I fixed the translation in Crowdin.
I was confused by it in English. Maybe it should be called “public notice” or “announcement” or something else making it more clear that it’s for everyone?
I think it’s too close to the thing called “staff notes” or “user notes” or something like that.
If it is a comment from staff to everybody, a good translation can be : “Afficher une note des responsables”
At first, I believed it was a note for staff eyes only…
Yes, “Afficher” instead of “Ajouter” would be better I guess.
