Hi Charles Havegheer,
3.6 version stills in development. We can't assure complete functionality for your site. If you want to give it a try, our Github repository has the latest changes (in the master branch). Feel free to take a look.

Hi Carl Thelen,
Thanks for your suggestion, we'll make sure our team knows about it. In the meantime, you could add custom CSS to your site and target that specific page.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for your interest in our plugin.

Do you have a beta version for version 3.6, before the official release?
Because we had to migrate to 3.6, but we had Open Forums in version 3.5 which are no longer accessible.
Thank you very much.
I have a question or feature request. One of our departments recently switched from Open Forum to the regular forum activity. Part of the reason is that in the open forum, the subject line is small, italic, and dimmed. That subject line is critical to learners for understanding the context of the conversation. So, for them, the subject line is more important than the poster's picture. Is there a clever way to make the subject line display bigger and/or bolder? Cheers!
Hi Charles Havegheer,
We don't have an exact date. It will probably be at the end of July.
Thanks for your interest in our plugin.

Do you have a date? Because the plugin is incompatible with version 3.6 (you can't update to version 3.6 if you use this plugin, except by uninstalling it).
Hi Hendrik Scheel,
With our current version we ensure functionality with Moodle 3.5. We will be working later on to make it completely usable on 3.6.
Thanks for your interest in our plugin.

Hey there,
I came across the Open Forum Plugin and I am wondering whether it also works for a Moodle 3.6. I suppose that it is not working having read the posts above, but I just would like to make sure I understood this correctly.
Thank you for a quick feedback.
Sincerely
Henry

Hello K Kirkwood,
MoodleRooms forum is now Open forum.
New to forums, I'm a bit confused on this version vs Advanced Forum, MoodleRooms, Open Forum, and the regular Forum?
I'm looking for a Forum type that is gradeable — I saw a MoodleRooms video, and it seemed to fit the bill, but not sure it still exists, or has become Open Forum, or...
Advice? Just want students to share at least one resource and comment on another student's post, and respond to any student that comments on their post, and allows me to give them a completion grade and possibly a comment.
Hi Paul Tannahill,
Yes, users are able to edit their own posts. However there is a time option which sets the maximum time to edit and you can find it in Site security settings.
Please let us know if that works.

Are students able to edit their own posts in an Open Forum, as they can in the regular Moodle Forum activity? I'm working on a support issue where students are not able to edit their posts. I
Hi Sergio Gomez,
Currently is not possible to download it from the plugin directory. Include that plugin in the Moodle directory is something that needs further evaluation from our team. Thanks for your interest in our products!.

Hi Mike Chiasson,
You can go through hsuforum tables and compare them with the ones from Moodle core forums, they are similar in structure. Maybe that is what your aim for with your question? If no please feel free to reach out again.
