Hellooo,
I was wondering:
When I see a Redirect on my forum I can click on 'manage'. And what do I see then? :
25577
A few remarks:
The screen is titled 'Edit Thread'. I think this is not correct, because we are actually editting the Thread-redirect. It should be titled 'Edit (Thread) Redirect'. (I always assumed that editing the Title:-field would change the Title of the Thread, but it actually changes the Title of the Redirect)
Why are the fields 'Title:' and 'Moderator Notes / Thread Summary' there (and the 'Title:' for that matter)? Who wants to edit those fields?! Why for example would you edit Moderator Notes / Thread Summary on a Redirect? Because this indeed ads a Thread Summary to the Redirect instead of the actual Thread... :confused:
Why do I have options to edit the Redirect expiration times, but have no option to delete it?! The link is called 'manage', but I can't delete anything : you have to click on the Redirect (instead of 'manage') which brings you to the actual thread. Then... you have to click on the Thread Tools-dropdown and choose 'Remove Redirects'...:confused: This is not very intuïtive in my eyes. Why not provide a Delete Redirect option there, where it's most obvious : in the Redirect manage-screen!
That's it and greetings,
