    Hi,
    For my forum, I would like the Announcements channel to have posts only from me (the admin). What privileges do I need to tick and untick?

    Clear all of the select boxes. By default, administrators will get all permissions, but anyone else accessing will be view only.

    Thanks @phenomlab! If I ever what to reset to the original settings, is that possible after Save?
    Also, do you think my idea of restricting the Announcement section is a good idea? Is that what you would’ve done also?

    @mventures I do the same, so yes, good idea. There’s no reason as to why anyone needs to post there except admins (and perhaps mods)

    You can’t “reset” the permissions to default, but you can copy from another category that has the default permissions as shown below

    And save.

    Shouldn’t users be able to reply and vote on Admin topics though? Maybe, those need to stay ticked and all else unticked?

    @cagatay as @downpw stated, there isn’t a native tool that will do this for you. You’d need to either develop your own or ask the nodebb team to assist which will be a paid exercise.

    @Panda You should be able to expose the CSS for these using F12 to get into console [image: 3591518c-e3a3-4ada-a43c-6b32a5e0359c-image.png] [image: a2b8ed46-4157-4ff2-85f0-576543380107-image.png] That should then expose the element once selected [image: 89d9c545-a47a-40d1-98f4-80cf3b958e8f-image.png] Here’s the below CSS you need based on the screenshot provided. .composer .formatting-bar .formatting-group li[data-format="picture-o"], .composer .formatting-bar .formatting-group li[data-format="spoiler"] { display: none; }

    @Panda said in Email validation NodeBB: Did you configure that as a custom change to the usual quote icon. How do you do that? I notice on NodeBB site its a solid blue quotes Yes, I changed it. NodeBB by default users the free font awesome library whereas I use the pro (paid) version SDK have access to a wider set of icons, and at different thicknesses etc. The change of colour is just simple CSS.

    @mventures Quick reply is basically exactly that. However, it’s possible to trigger the full composer as below [image: 82ca1209-31be-4a51-a641-9887b5a238b8-image.png] Failing that, you’ll need to use the reply button in the sticky toolbar [image: 1d230bcb-ff8e-4756-94f7-6e2fb7a94bc4-image.png]

    @cagatay Just add margin-left on the element like @phenomlab said to you : topic [component="post/parent"] { margin-left: 10px; } [image: aa08c62b-4223-4cba-8c0f-c73d50474c0d-image.png] Maybe @phenomlab have a better way
