URL being redacted when editing the title of a forum discussion

I often need to change the title (heading) of various threads, just to make them understandable to others visitors. The URL of these threads then changes to community.XXX.com//redacted. How can I stop this behavior?

    That's not a Vanilla "feature". If I do a full text search in my installation for "reducted", I get no results. And if I edit the title, nothing changes. Therefore it must be something special on your side.

  • Hi @R_J, thanks. It actually says "redacted" (not reducted). Please see here: https://community.xyz.de/redacted .

    That link doesn't work.

    I often edit titles in my forums, and have not seen this behaviour.

    As a guest, I see it as expected:

    I suspect this may be something which only admins see, although I don't know what would cause that, as it doesn't happen on my forums.

    Try logging in as an ordinary member.

    I searched for redacted, but wrote reducted - blöder Schreibfehler...

  • @whu606, thanks, but I cannot confirm this. When accessing this particular forum page (either with a simple member login OR not being logged in at all), the URL always gets redacted here.

    Try it via a private/incognito window, to see if it is a cache issue.

    I've registered, and logged in, as you can see, and it looks fine.

    Thanks for the heads up. I alerted support.

    FWIW, I have no idea what 'redacted' is, either.

  • Thank you @R_J, thank you @Linc. So, shall I directly contact support@vanillaforums.com?

    Yes.
