Personabar Pages ellipsis and indent Started By Henrik Spang-Hanssen The fact that pagenames are being truncated in the PersonaBar Pages module treeview can be considered to be a problem. Content editors and managers will in case of pagenames with say more than 4-5 letters and a deeper page structure consisting og multiple levels of subpages find this UI interface difficult to navigate. I believe the PersonaBar module is a part of every DNN update so as a developer you can't just fix this problem with a customized workaround. That is why I am making this request ...	3	1829	0	1/7/2021 4:34 AM by Henrik Spang-Hanssen
New users not removed from Unverified after verifying account Started By Mark Hartt-Palmer I'm not sure whether I'm doing something wrong here: if a new user registers on the site, they get the verification email as expected. When clicking on the link and verifying, they are still shown the unverified message. Looking in Manage > Users, I can see that the new user is still showing in the Unverified role, and I have to manually remove this to make them verified. If anyone has any advice on how I can overcome this so that a user is verified once the link from the email has been activ...	1	2055	1	11/28/2020 8:52 AM by Mark Hartt-Palmer

Can Non-Administrator roles Add Pages? Started By Reza Garrow Hi, all. I've seen this posted in the old forums and others chimed in saying they too were trying to figure it out but was never answered, either way, so pretty much reasking it. I would like to give a non-administrator role the ability to Create and Delete pages in DNN 9. I know that, if the user has edit permission for a particular page, that user can access the 'Pages' control through the persona bar. I would like to give them access to the entire page management system so ...	2	2238	2	1/20/2021 8:01 AM by Reza Garrow
