Ability to see forum posts by each user/member
I put this comment in a different thread (oops!) and the Chief Apricot Dmitry said "I totally agree with your point about the usefulness of seeing a particular person's posts and I would appreciate if you could create a thread on this" Thanks Dmitry! Here it is...
It would be useful for us to see posts by each user - like in these WA forums when you click on the user's name and it brings you to a page with a tab that shows all of their posts.
Situations when we would like to see a list of each user's…

Add a Report Post link in Discussion Forum Posts [7490]
I see a Wish List about forum moderation. But I would like to see a "Report Post" link in every post that would allow any reader to report the post to the site owner. Nothing fancy. Just click the link and a message comes up that says "This post has been reported to the site administrator. Thanks for your concern". The admins would then get an email or maybe it would show up in a section in the dashboard that would let the admins investigate any posts flagged by users and then they can decide whether to edit, delete or…

expiration date on posts
It is very important to have an expiration date on posts. We would like to delete posts older than 90 days, and we have to do it manually, very time consuming for Admin.

Batch delete forum posts
I am volunteering with our WA hosted site and have to MANUALLY delete old classified ads.... OVER and OVER again I have to delete them one by one.... its awful. The functionality needs to be improved here.... as logged in ADMIN people, we need the option to go to, for example, a classified ad section, click off all the old ads we want deleted, and CLICK, done. Get this hosting platform to a customer user level? I saw a forum in 2015 complaining of this exact problem. Unless I am missing something here.... its that basic functionality already integrated and…

Search inside a selected forum
It would be really great if there was an option to search within just one specific forum. REALLY REALLY helpful. It's great that after a search is put in one can choose to only show the results of forums, but being able to search within one selected forum would be even better.

Add ability to add custom columns (Fields) to forum topics
We have numerous forums that would benefit from having a custom icon or status in it's own column. Example is an "Items for sale" forum where we use a topic for each item and then the discussion becomes the bids and questions from the members. We would like to be able to include a "status" column in the list of topics to indicate where the item is in the inventory life cycle.

Custom sorting options for forum subjects
This is similar to Paul's. It'd be nice for admins to be able to sort forum subjects in different orders. We can only "pin" one item to the top of a forum. If we can sort them by subject alphabetically, or manually number them, that'd be dandy. Last to first is

Sign in Sheet
Hi!!
Please consider adding a participant sign in sheet to the event Reports choices. We have groups that require individuals to sign in physically as a proof of attendance. The attendance sheet you have is ALMOST perfect. Is needs a columns marked sign in and adequate space to work for our needs. Thanks for your consideration.

Topic Tags for Forums
Enable tags for Forum Topics for more dynamic engagement.
Allow Admin to choose some amount (maybe ~10) topic tags that can be added when creating a new topic. Would be nice at the Forum level also.
Example attached.

Use Organisation as Forum and Blog author
I would like to use the member's ORGANISATION as the author for the Blogs and Forums. Our first and last name are private to the public so it just comes up as Anonymous which isn't good. On the private forums the author is first and last name when really it should be on behalf of their organisation.

Idea to enhance forum functionality
Look into using discourse.org functionality to completely replace the forums feature. They already have options to embed a discourse instance into an existing web site for this purpose. Adopting discourse.org tech would resolve at least 25 feature requests I have reviewed today!

Make Forum and Topic subscriptions consisten
The inconsistency of subscribing to forums vs. topics is very confusing and difficult to explain to members.
Current behavior for subscribing:
You subscribe to forum on the forum page and then go to your Profile to change frequency. When you Create a Topic you get an option to subscribe and set frequency on the new topic page and don't need to go to your profile. Why can't you do the same for the Forum?Emails:
If you subscribe to a forum you only get the titles as a summary. If you subscribe to the Topic you get the full post.…3 votes -
Include initial description along with Forum Title
It seems that every other forum I have used always lists the initial description with the title of the Forum Topic at the top. Replies to the topic are listed below. Your own WA support forums work that way!!
The current forum gadget treats the initial description the same as one of the replies, so that it may appear at the top or bottom . depending on your settings. This is a problem and should be fixed.

private messaging in forums
I would like to be able to contact the author in a forum directly without having to post it on the forum. there should be a contact form that allows the author to be anonymous. For example, a buy sell forum you should be able to contact someone without simply posting it on the entire forum.

Most search engines allow you to put a phrase in quotes or use the AND (find items with both repair AND invoice. Our forums are getting pretty big and it is very time consuming to go thru all the matches without having the search results limited more effectively.

Q&A forum, let anybody create a topic, but only a subset of members can reply
Hi,
We'd like to create a Q&A style forum, where any of our members can ask questions (ie, create topics), but only a subset of our members with expertise can answer the questions (ie, reply to topics). Is this a permission option that could be added to the forum feature?

Vary the dates and times of WA Webinars
I am very interested in your webinars and would like to attend them. However, they are always held on Tuesday's at 1 pm my time, when I have other committments. Have you thought about varying the time and/or the day of the week so that those with commitments on Tuesdays have an opportunity to attend, too. There is no way you can accommodate everyone's schedule, but varying the days would allow everyone to attend sometimes. The recordings are a big help.

Support for Voting on Forum Posts
Similar ideas have been posted here before, see https://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/34133521-thumbs-up-in-forum and https://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/9904584-idea-management-voting-system-gadget. However, these presuppose the develpoment of new functionality, and the latter is evidently considered already addressed by the "Polls" feature. However, this is not the case. The polls require a fixed list of options, all of which are known in advance and determined by an administrator. What we need is exactly the voting functionality of this Wishlist forum, which is open-ended and encourages user participation. We already have two forum categories where this would be useful:

Allow changing the order in which sticky topics are displayed.
Allow changing the order in which sticky topics are displayed. We have quite a few in some fora, and the order they were entered in is not generally the reverse of the order in which we would like them displayed.
