Lack of interest Server errors that have been reviewed should be hidden

[JackieChun]

I usually delete most server errors from the admin panel once the issue has been addressed, but I also keep some of these errors for records or future reference. As a UI/UX matter, the admin panel should not be telling you that you should review server errors that you have already reviewed, and it certainly shouldn't be telling you to review them with the sense of urgency that it currently displays.

The same goes for the second line in the screenshot ("missing or modified files"). I routinely edit javascript files from add-ons and don't need to see this error with a huge pink X circle every time I am in the admin panel, not to mention that it takes up quite a bit of valuable screen real estate. Perhaps reviewed errors should be relegated to a separate screen (something like an inbox), but they should not continue to be in your face indefinitely.

@Chris D reports that XenForo doesn't track which server errors have been read, so I am suggesting that it should. It would only add one bit of data per error to the log and increase usability tremendously.

Was just coming to suggest this same idea.

After awhile of seeing both these warnings ALL THE TIME they lose their impact, which is not want you want. Both these warnings could be much more useful and retain their impact if the reported errors/warnings could be dismissed after being read/acknowledged but still saved for later review.

I also suggested this other related suggestion a while back:

Lack of interest - Add server error "count" to main admin page

When working out some bugs when developing it is sometimes necessary to leave logged server errors in place to see if they repeat or have been fixed. We all hate to see this: Unfortunately during development it is inevitable and to ease the pain and anxiety a little it would be nice if we...

I’ve created a paid addon that does this as well as adding the count,

[OzzModz] Ignore Server Errors From Log

We all get them from time to time, the dreaded server error log. They are shown on the index and are difficult to know what is known and what is a new error. Well this addon solves that. Now if you have server errors, you can add it to the...
