Looks like you simply forgot to select which action (Edit, Make Default, Delete) you would like to take on the selected profile.

Oooooh, gotcha. That is a little confusing if you ask me, maybe change that up in a future version so it's not so confusing.

TBH even though I don't use it myself, I don't like this screen's UX... I think its logic is backwards, i.e. selecting an action from a radio, then the object before clicking Submit. It would make more sense to present a list of profiles with individual action buttons, like we do in other parts of MantisBT (e.g. adm_config_report.php).

Do you have other suggestions of what we should do to make things less confusing ?

I have one more, on the Manage Configuration -> Manage Columns, have the properties in a checkbox list format that is scrollable that way everyone knows what fields are available to include.

Oh one more, Manage Configuration -> Manage Site would be a good idea to have where we can manage our logo, site title, etc without having to use config_inc.php variables to set different things. I don't mean include everything, just the normal stuff of site logo, site name, site title, site description, keywords, language, theme.

Also have it possible where people can upload to a new folder called 'themes' where you create a folder of your choosing, upload a CSS file and preview file then on the config for the site they choose from a list of names of styles in that folder which the names would have to be kept in a PHP or XML file. A theme manager would be nice on top of this allowing us to see what each theme looks like but if people provide a screenshot with their download we wouldn't need a theme manager.

That is all I have for suggestions for now. If I find time, I'll do a pull request and try to do some of this myself to help ya guys out.

I meant, specifically for the profile selection feature ;-)

Please open separate issues (look for existing ones first) to track your suggestions. And pull requests would be great !

This plugin https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/InlineColumnConfiguration might be what you're looking for

LOL my bad, misunderstood what you meant. I'll do that before I create new feature suggestions. Yeah that plugin will do the trick.
