Not sure if this belongs in here or not, but something that was seriously broken back in 6.5 was the logging of moderator and admin activity, and it doesn't appear to have been fixed in 7.x

Admin logging is very important and I think it would be good to tidy up this side of things and get the logging back to useful.

I'm currently going through a whole load of things that SHOULD be logged and either are not, or are not done correctly..

Starter below, will add more as I do more testing.



1. Deleting a topic - Not logged at all.
2. Moving a topic to another forum - Only information that is logged is that something is moved, and the Extra information is listed as ";;35193;1" which really isn't useful. Would be ideal to have the thread name and the forum it is moved to (and maybe from).
3. Global Annoucement changes - Not logged
4. Delete Post - Not logged at all. Used to be logged ok in 6.5
5. User registration denied - Logged OK and username listed in extra info. Could we maybe also have the reason for denial added into the extra information?
6. User registration approved - Logged but the username is not listed in the extra information only the user number.
7. Edit post - No editing of posts is logged, would be really useful to have this logged, as people often complain that a post has been changed and we dont know which mod has done it.
8. Close thread (now called locking) - Logged but only topic number is shown in the extra information, topic title would be more useful.
9. Editing Portal config and layout - This is logged under UPDATE_LAYOUT and EDIT_CONFIG_FILE. Would it be possible to add a small bit of info in the extra area clarifying which area was changed, ie Portal settings, or Portal Layout, Portal Island change etc?
10. Approve Posts (Deny) - Logged as APPROVE_POSTS with only topic number. Could this be changed to clarify that it wasn't actually approved and the topic title?
11. Approve Posts (Approve) - Logged same as above. Could this be amended to show the title rather than just topic number?
