Is a Modern SharePoint Discussion board capability in the roadmap?
Hi, We have many requests for discussion forum capabilities. Now, we know the classic version still exists for SharePoint and is/will be deprecated. We also know that Yammer is positioned as a replacement BUT we do not have Yammer enabled (yet), so I want to know if a new modern version of discussion forum content type is on the roadmap? In addition, am interested in hearing what others are using instead? Thanks Alon
Is there any way to mask the usernames on the Discussion Board app?
Hi, I'd like to do a 'shoutbox' of sorts for my company on our Sharepoint site. It's meant for people to ask or comment about work matters, throw suggestions for improvement, or even a quick Thank You note to any employee. However, we would like to make the posts anonymous. No usernames or employee names to be shown on the posts, or at least give the users a choice on whether they want their identity to be shown on their post/reply/comment. I did try to 'create' a view for general users, unchecking the 'Created By' column, but it seems that in the app view, the creator's name still shows.... Any way to do that?
SharePoint Discussion Board Settings Post/Reply Pre-Approval
New to SharePoint. I'm trying to create some discussion boards on a SharePoint site to allow colleagues in my company an opportunity to take part in some conversations about diversity and contributing to a positive and respectful workplace. I'm wondering if there is a way to set up each discussion thread so that I am notified when someone responds AND make it so that I need to approve responses before they are made live to each discussion board.
SP Online Discussion Board Wrong Time Zone
I have searched every crevice of the internet and cannot find a solution to my issue with discussion board timestamps on SharePoint online; can someone please help me! The issue: When a user creates a post in the discussion board, it lists the post name and "created" time accurately. However, when you click the post name to view the discussion, all listed times are 7 hours earlier than the actual time. Here are screenshots of this issue in action: Test Post is created with a 4:26 PM timestamp (Pacific Standard Time) Test Post thread shows 9:26 AM timestamp. Note the tool-tip lists the correct 24-hour timestamp. From all the forums I've read through there were two obvious placed to check; personal regional settings in Delve, and administrator regional settings for the site. The admin settings are configured for Pacific Standard Time (as you can see from the example below) and my Delve account has been set to use those settings configured by the administrator (me). SharePoint site settings: My personal Delve settings: I have tried updating my Office 365 regional settings through PowerShell, confirming search schema for created and modified dates, I tried to manually adjust the "Flat" view for the post to format the create and modified columns but nothing works. We're trying to get a discussion board set up for parents coping with home-schooling during the COVID pandemic, and I can't put this discussion board into production if users are going to be asking me everyday why their post time is incorrect. Any help with this would be absolutely appreciated. Thank you!
