  Hi all,
  
  When send a post using the forum advance activity, the option in selected that all post are anonymous. When receiving the email to the mailbox from noreply@moodle.ucl.ac.uk, it shows sen "by Anonymous user" but when clicking on the link it takes your to the profile of the person posting, hence its not an anonymous post. Any ideas why this is? thanks.
  
  
  How to create issue
  
  
  1. create a forum (advanced) activity
  
  2. ensure that "Allow anonymous posting" is ticked in the settings
  
  3. in manage forum descriptions, ensure that subscribe button is "yes"
  
  4. submit a post
  
  5. You'll receive an email into your mailbox from noreply@moodle.ucl.ac.uk
  
  6. Click on the "by Anonymous link"
  
  7. This takes you to the users profile defeating the purpose of anonymous.
  
  Any anyeone else experienced or expericing this issue?

  Hi there, we recently upgraded to Moodle 3.4.2+ and are finding a problem:
  
  1. Add a new discussion in a Moodleroom (Advanced Forum) forum.
  2. Click the "Use advanced editor" link.
  3. Click the "Hide advanced editor" link.
  The text area for the post content disappears and can't be recovered until making a new post. All text entered is lost.
  
  Anyone else seeing this issue?

  Hi there, there seems to be a problem with this plugin. We're running on Moodle version 3.2.2 and have Advanced forum version 3.2.3. When student select in Preferences > Forum Preferences > Forum auto-subscribe > Yes when I post, subscribe me to that forum discussion it doesn't actually subscribe the student when they reply to a discussion. How do I rectify this?

  Hi, Is it possible to hide posts by other users... only see own posts?

  I'm running Advanced Forum build 3.3.3 now and although it now subscribed users to a discussion when they reply to a post, it doesn't subscribe them when you first create a discussion (if you leave it as the default simplified text editor). Can this please be fixed in an updated release?

  I really like this plugin. Thank you for sharing it. This is very much in line with what students expect in a discussion format. The ajax and other features are very nice.

  We are having an issue where teachers are not getting the forum digest. Students get it but teachers don't. We are using the latest version of the plugin. Any ideas? We've already setup notifications and check notifications preferences. Using standard Moodle forum it works but not with open forums.

  Hi Andres Ramos,
  
  We just double check the forum digest and everything is working as expected, please verify your configuration. Remember to double check your suscribe list as the user (teacher) that is not getting emails or notifications. You can do that by going to the activity and clicking in the "Manage forum subscriptions" link. You can also check your forum and notification preferences.
  
  Let us know if the problem persist.

  Hi
  
  I noticed a comment from 2017 referencing mobile app compatibility but nothing since. Is this still part of your roadmap? Are there any new updates on it?
  
  Thanks,
  Ismail

  Hi Reymon Reid
  
  Are you trying to install Open forum in 3.6? We have released recently our 3.5 version. Each version is released about each 5 - 6 months. Also your error output says the table already exists, does your DB has a table with that name already?
  
  Let us know if you have more problems with that

  Hi Senthil Prabu,
  
  As we mentioned before we have a released cycle which take almost 6 months, so yes we'll have a 3.6 version in the future.
