We've recently set up askbot to use python-django-post_office as the email backend at askfedora. I've noticed that the emails we're getting are now plain text, and not html as they used to be.

post-office seems to have two different variables for plain text mail "message", and html mail "html_message" (see the documentation on mail.send toward the end of this page) instead of using the "attach_alternative" system that's advised

Is this the issue?

Filed one nevertheless

We've enabled the "send accept answer reminders" in the config and also set up a cron job etc. as required. It works on our staging instance. Before we move it to the production instance however, I wanted to know how it actually works? For instance, if I set a cron to send daily reminders, does it mean all questions, where answers have not been accepted will cause daily reminders? Or is there a time delay, say a week after an answer was provided, after which the asker will be sent a reminder?

We just want to ensure that enabling the service doesn't result in too many reminders going out.

Currently, when I see "all questions", all the recently closed questions appear first. These have been closed for reasons such as "duplicate" etc., and it doesn't make any sense to have them appear first. It would be more constructive to have these pushed to the bottom (or deleted altogether). Can something be done?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for implementing the "merge questions" feature. It's really helpful. At the moment, though, when you merge two questions, you go straight to the resultant question. Often, of not all the time, we need to tweak/clean up the resultant question - could the merge take us to an edit view first, where we could do the required changes and then publish the question in the final form?

I see the feature is now available in the latest askbot version. Can I request that the "merge" button take us directly to an edit window so that we can clean up the resultant question before it's posted?

This answer refers to 0.7.50 I assume, not 0.7.49?

We've been getting a lot of spam posts. Even the django stopforumspam plugin doesn't keep them out apparently. I need to check to see the spammers that are active on our instance are present in the stopforumspam database or not, and if they aren't, I'll submit them. Is there a way for us admins to extract information from the database - like e-mail addresses and or IP addresses, so that we can submit them to spam databases?

We're already on 0.7.49 which seems to be the latest release. Could you please make a fresh release if there are enough improvements/bugfixes? :)

Is it possible to save moderation history? For example, it'll be nice to know when a user was blocked etc. and by who.

Some of the posts in the moderation queue only show "None". Is this because another moderator has already approved them?

It seems like they're posts that have already been accepted or dealt with. However, I do have some posts with "None" that still have "accept/reject" buttons next to them. They shouldn't be there if the post has already been dealt with.

EDIT:

I also get a lot of "Post approved" notifications for approving just one post:

Hi,

Is it possible to use an alternative to akismet for spam protection? However good akismet is, it's non free software :(

How about mollom for example? https://mollom.com/features

Thanks,

Over the past few days, we've come under heavy spam attacks. They create multiple accounts and post as many as 50 spam questions from each. It's a lot of work to delete each question individually. is there a management command that will let us moderators/administrators delete all questions from a specific user, especially a spam user?

If the reject button rejects the post, the reason "nothing offensive in this post" is kinda contradictory. Maybe the accept and reject buttons have gotten mixed up..
