Khoros Communities 26.2 Release Notes [Updated]

Hi Lief​, allensmith81​, and everyone following this thread,

Thank you for flagging this and for the detailed screenshots, they were helpful.

The moderation-status labels (Approved, Under Review, Rejected) appearing on posts were not intended to be part of this release. We're actively working on a fix.

To clarify scope - this is not visible to all users:
• Post authors see the label on their own posts only
• Admins and moderators see labels across all posts
• Regular community members viewing someone else's post do not see these labels
• Signed-out / anonymous visitors do not see them either

So while it's understandably noticeable to those of you managing your communities, your general member population is not affected.

Fix status:
• Currently in QA - once validated, it will be deployed to production
• No action needed on your end - this is a product-level fix
• We'll update this thread once the patch is live

On your feedback:
We've noted your concerns around the visual clutter, the Approved vs. Solved label confusion, and the mobile experience. The intent behind this feature is to improve moderation visibility for authors and admins, but we understand it needs to be configurable - both in terms of whether labels show at all, and what they say. That's something we're factoring into upcoming releases.

Finally, this feature was not included in the release notes because it wasn't part of the intended release. We apologize for the confusion, and we'll ensure our notes accurately reflect everything customers should expect going forward.
