http://www.dilligaff.org/images/phpbbbugs/active_topics_grouping.jpg there should also be the icons, they view for me and they view with the wrong forum_id and thats what needs to be fixed.

I found out why my active topics list in category view does not display the reported post icons, the account I was using does not have moderator permissions, either global or local. Remove the moderator permissions and the reported post status is not visible, in that view, however they are visible in every other view. :o

If I add back moderator permissions I see the icons and when you hover you see the same (incorrect forum id) for each, it does not need to be 3 levels deep, one level still returns the 'no reports found' message. So any level forum exhibits the same behavior. That is reproducible.

So..in trying to reproduce the conditions that exhibit the behavior described in the initial report, a new bug is uncovered. You going to fix that one too?

narqelion I could not reproduce your second issue completly.
Maybe you should check back, whether you also removed the moderator permissions for the administrator group, who has "Full Moderator" assigned on the "Your first forum", but not on "Your first category" in the default phpBB3 installation.

For normal moderators the issue should be fixed now.
If you need a diff for testing, try this one:

You can reproduce it by making sure the user account is not a member of Global Moderators and does not have any explicit moderator role/permissions set on the category. Since a category is a top level forum and cannot contain topics/posts there is no need to set a moderator role for a category since there will never be anything in a category to moderate. The only way I see the reported post image displayed under Category View (viewforum.php?f=1)-> Active topics is if the user is a Global Moderator or has had a moderator role assigned to the category (f=1), neither of which is or should be required. If the Active Topics link (search_id=active_topics)can return the reported post image for topics in forums & subforums located under a category (f=1) I do not have explicit moderator permissions in, so should the Category View of Active Topics.
