 Hi,

 

@JohnD  Can you customize the text "Report inappropriate content" to say something different?  

 

We are looking to our users to help identify and flag old or inaccurate content....this feature is great but we would like to replace the word "inappropriate".

 

Thanks,

 

Christine

@carnould - Yes, you can edit this text string in Studio. Just go to the Text Editor and search for the string you want to change. There you can change it to whatever you want it to say.

Could not like the comment so "That is perfect - thank you!!"

Hi team! I've noticed a strange UI thing with the new Khoros theme which made it difficult for me to report spam - the "options / three-dot" menu doesn't appear until you actually hover over the post in question. This is super confusing and makes it even harder to know how to report spam.

See little movie that hopefully explains what I mean.
