Installed Blatchy AskMe 1.0.62 in a test environment using a clean XF theme.
I absolutely love this addon! There are a few minor and medium issues that I will mention, and I can probably fix myself, but want to share with you. And one major issue that is a showstopper for me until it can be fixed.
I hope you don't take this as negative, as I do like your addon and am just testing things out before I try running it on a live site.
Minor issues, no big deal, I can fix on my own:
When a user enters the AMA, they are greeted by questions. All good here. But at the bottom, it's confusing that this is where to ask a question because:
Unless it's something I am doing wrong, I think the user permissions are not working correctly for:
The other AskMe permissions do appear to work. Although I wish the buttons would appear/disappear based on the permissions instead of throwing an error when the user doesn't have permission.
One More Issue, No Idea
I don't know how to manage this one, and maybe it's just going to be an inconvenient thing to deal with, but when using the moderator function to copy a question inside the AMA, it creates a new Thread inside the AMA node and does not show as another Question. And then it's stuck inside the node, since you cannot see it, unless you manually go back in the browser to find and delete it. Not a bug, but it's making a thread instead of a question inside the AMA forum node. No idea how to handle this?
Thanks for taking the time,

Minor issues, no big deal, I can fix on my own:
- Install Warning: "The hashes.json file for this add-on is missing so no file health check can be performed."
- Featured Questions is confusing because the header is plural, but it appears only one single question can be featured at a time.
- CSS Font Problems:
- Question with no answer inherits the normal style font (good!)
- Question with no answer is using a different style font included with the addon
- Sidebar Widget: Desperately needs some CSS to be usable.
- Deleting the addon turns everything ito threads/posts. Love this so the data is maintained as normal XF content. But the question posts and answer posts are based only on time stamps so the thread is extremely confusing for anyone looking at it. Is it possible that an answer automatically quotes the question, but doesn't show the quote in the AMA and only shows the quote when read as a normal post. I would think the easiest way would be to use CSS to hide the quoted question within the AMA session.
When a user enters the AMA, they are greeted by questions. All good here. But at the bottom, it's confusing that this is where to ask a question because:
- The input box to write the questions says "Write your reply..."
- To submit your question, it says "Post Reply"
- reply_placeholder
- post_reply
Unless it's something I am doing wrong, I think the user permissions are not working correctly for:
- Can submit questions to AskMe sessions
The other AskMe permissions do appear to work. Although I wish the buttons would appear/disappear based on the permissions instead of throwing an error when the user doesn't have permission.
