Admin Section

Why can I move & delete boards on tablet, need to get to laptop/deskop instead?

thereddiamanthe, currently the admin panel is not designed for mobile devices. (This will change with the upcoming version 6.)

However you should be able to delete a board. While in the Categories & Boards section of the admin panel, tap on a board (that line item will show a green highlight indicating it's selected) and then scroll to the far right where you should see some icons on that line. Tapping the 'x' will delete the board.

At this time you will not be able to move (rearrange) boards or categories on mobile. If you do not have access to a non-mobile device to do this, we will happy to assist you. Just let us know what you want moved and where.

The X prompts the message - - insert delete, but no input box is shown.

thereddiamanthe, can you clarify this "The X prompts the message - - insert delete, but no input box is shown." After tapping the 'x' do you see the delete dialog box?

[thereddiamanthe]

Scott, I further explored this:
the first time the confirmation box shows no imput field is presented, only after clicking & getting the error message "Required to input 'Delete'" or something similar -- the inout box shows up.

But OK, it works & the only thing not being able to do through Android is reposition the boards.

thereddiamanthe, as I mentioned earlier moving boards is not possible on mobile devices - at this time (it will be, once v6 is released). However in the meantime, if you don't have access to a desktop, we will be happy to move boards for you.

Here's what I mean
•  the input box in case of deleting a member ppears fter the 2nd click
•  but deleting the board does not activate the input box

[Scott]

thereddiamanthe when you click the 'x' to delete a board, you should get the popup dialog box (shown below).

In that box make sure to type delete in the verify field and tick the box acknowledging deleted boards cannot be recovered, before tapping the Delete button.


Are you seeing this box?  On my phone it is off screen to the lower right and I have to 'slide' the screen to make the box visible.

[thereddiamanthe]

Yes, I do see it - but the input box itself is not displayed. So the 'Delete' cannot be written in. Meanwhile the same type of box displayed when wanting to delete thread works, but initially also displayed without an input box. Another click on it magically reveals the input box. Android 8 I think.

Look Šcott, I am not gonna be nit-picking now on this.
If with the coming new version this is resolved, that's fine by me.
When?

There is no release date for v6 currently but we are in the Beta phase.

If I may, you should create a new thread for your issue. ProBoards prefers this, and especially since your issue is completely unrelated to the issue in this thread. Thanks.

FYI, although staff are Monday thru Friday, often a Support Admin will pop on over the weekend.
