Bug Description

In bug #1752442 the help icon was removed for regular group members. However, the help text for group admins and moderators still mentions the subscribe / unsubscribe options for individual topics.

These should be removed.

according to the code, the options in the 'Choose an action' dropdown are these:

for a moderator/admin of the forum (also subscribed to the forum)
Sticky, Unsticky, Close, Open, Move to

for a moderator/admin (not subscribed to the forum)
Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Sticky, Unsticky, Close, Open, Move to

for a member (not subscribed to the forum)
Subscribe, Unsubscribe

for a member (subscribed to the forum)
no actions

It looks like if you are not subscribed to the forum, you can subscribe/unsubcribe to the individual topics. it's not related to being admin, moderator or normal user.

There is one more detail, the option 'Move to' is only displayed if there's at least one other forum in the group. So we could have 4 possible set of actions for admin/moderators:

Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Sticky, Unsticky, Close, Open, Move to
Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Sticky, Unsticky, Close, Open
Sticky, Unsticky, Close, Open, Move to
Sticky, Unsticky, Close, Open

So that would be 5 help texts if we want to display only the ones shown in the dropdown

Cecilia, thank you for checking. According to bug #1752442 the functionality to subscribe / unsubscribe from individual topics was removed or was it just that it was not seen because the entire forum was subscribed to?

The functionality has not been removed. If we are not subscribed to a forum, then we are able to subscribe to individual topics.

Bug #1752442 description was corrected in first comment
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1752442/comments/1
and its patch only hid the icon for normal members (not admin or mod) that are subscribed to the forum.
