Design Issue: Admin Checkbox

The fact remains that the popup window does not correctly reflect the values of the moved checkbox.

borg: To move the post I click on the Admin, then select the category from the dropdown. Please note that the checkbox is checked before I even move it.

I'm with you on that.

This would be a good idea for an administrative setting.

Thats correct so it would be a bit hard having it updated from the database when no related value is stored in the database relating to this option.

It's not an option on it's own it's lumped with the move topic forum drop down simply so that people can override the default when moving a topic of leaving a flag in the previous forum.

I'm not sure why djlurch you have it in for the popup topic admin page, the page is simply to add extra options for the admin and moderators to help administer the board more easily.

The popup topic admin page itself is currently undergoing redevelopment and has several new dynamic options added to it, which is why you now get a scroll bar you mention in another post.

It is still being developed for version 9, but rather than forum admins having to wait for version 9 to use the extra dynamic options in the new pop up admin page it was decided to put it in with the 8.05 release so that users can take advantage of the extra options now instead of having to wait for version 9.

You will find now with the page that you will get different options depending on the topic and the forum that the page relates to, so you may find you have more scrolling to do on some topics with this page than others.

As the contents of the box are totaly dynamic i doubt that would help, your best bet is to have a play around with the pop-up yourself and see if you can come to a satisfactory end.
