I have seen several posts referring to the same failure message on upgrades, but none so far with 3.2.4 to 3.2.7 upgrades. The error still exists. The installer detected a timeout The installer has detected a timeout, you may try to refresh the page, which may lead to data corruption. We suggest tha...
@KevC I think that my question should have been "is it possible to restrict posts from a specific 'user' so that only the 'user' and admins can see the posts. I realise this must be difficult, and the only reason is to allow a suspected "lurker" time to add enough evidence to definiti...
I wonder if there is any way to mark a post as visible only to the Original Poster and administrators? The reason I ask is that I use the StopForumSpam extension on my phpBB forum, and I was watching a newly registered member whose IP address is Vietnam.

Open - anyone can join the group Request - you have to ask to be added to the group Closed - users can only be added by the group leader/admin Hidden - only people in the group know it exists On tests I have run using a variety of log-ins, Closed groups also do not show unless you are logged in as ...
In particular I have searched without success to find the difference between Closed and Hidden. I can guess what Open and Request mean, but can anyone point me to the relevant documentation? I have found out that Hidden groups cannot use Private Messaging; is this the only difference between Hidden ...
