The “Ask a Question” page now displays the question title field and the suggested questions list after the discreption field. This change improves the user flow by encouraging visitors to type their entire question first and then type a suitable title.
On the “My Favorites” page, the Questions block now includes a “Lists” redirection link. This allows users to quickly access their saved lists directly from their favorites area for easier navigation.
User profiles (including activity, wall, and related pages) are now hidden from all regular users if the profile owner does not meet the minimum configured activity thresholds:
Active days less than the configured limit
Approved posts (Questions, Answers, or Comments) less than 2 ( 2 is hardcoded in the qa-user-profile-hide-layer.php file. )
Exceptions: Moderators, admins, and super admins can still view all profiles.
The “Edit Profile” button and My Account link are automatically hidden for users who have:
Active days less than the configured limit, or
Approved posts (Questions, Answers, or Comments) less than 2 ( 2 is hardcoded in the qa-user-profile-hide-layer.php file. )
This feature temporarily restricts new or inactive users from editing their profiles until they reach the configured activity thresholds (approved posts or active days), helping to deter spam or abusive accounts.
- Adds a Print button on the Question and Blog view pages.
- The Print button can be enabled or disabled from the Admin Panel → Misc Tweaks section.
- The print layout style can be customized directly from the same admin page.
Adds a widget Hide Side Panel button to hide the side panel. When hidden, the main content expands to full width. The show side panel button is draggable, remembers its position (from browser memory), and auto-adjusts on window resize.
Adds per-user control over username changes. Admins can configure how many times a user may change their username (0, 1, 2, etc.). If set to 0, usernames are locked completely.
- Admins (and above) see a "Grant Name Change" button on the user's profile page (next to block/edit) when the user has used all their changes. Clicking it decrements the used count by 1, giving the user one more chance.
Allows logged-in users to logout from all devices or all other devices from the Account page. Two buttons are shown: "Logout from All Devices" and "Logout from Other Devices".
Session validation interval is configurable in Admin (in seconds). Default is 3599 seconds (~1 hour). Set to 0 to disable periodic session checks.
When a user logs out from all other devices, or changes their password, other devices are invalidated. If session validation is enabled, actively browsing sessions are force-logged-out within the configured interval. If set to 0, open sessions remain active until the browser is closed and reopened (at which point Q2A core clears the stale cookie).
