So i noticed you need to be a staff member of a forum in order to reply without changing the bump. Why is that? I think mostly that if you noticed a old topic and you realize you have the answer but you dont want to make an old topic from a year ago re-appear at the top of the list i think we all …

[Bild] ice.d: Why is that? To prevent vandalism. Users could append inappropriate or illegal content at the bottom of a topic and you wouldn’t even know. :scream:

Good point. But what if we did it only in staff selected categroies?

Do you mean restricted categories to groups?

Yes something like that or in settings that when you set those categories only people in there can

How would that prevent vandalism?

[Bild] Moin: @ice.d what problem do you want to solve with replies not bumping the topic? Why do you want users to be able to reply without others noticing? Maybe a topic list ordered by date of post creation would solve your problem. @moin this is good question. Because for example on sweez…
