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. As my board is for Anglophones in France touc...

When using the Automatic Upgrade package, once I started by selecting the FTP option there was no way back to change the selection. This was necessary because my board ISP requires Sftp, not Ftp. I got my board back by simply deleting the Install directory. Is there a way to use Sftp? Otherwise perh...

That was a response to a post asking for help - it is not documented anywhere to my knowledge.

Hello Steve I had already searched the documentation link you sent, and there is no mention of Group Types, and certainly no explanation of them. I realise the difficulty of preparing documentation and keeping it up to date; I worked in commercial software development all my working life, and it was...

However, when I was talking of "seeing" the groups I was really alluding to the Board Indexes! Can we just clarify what it is that you are talking about? Is it usergroups (where you add members to a particular group - usually to apply a set of permissions) or Categories/Fora/Topics (where...

You can definitely see Closed groups and their members. Go to the UCP of this board and click on Usergroups and you will see all the groups. Yes, I did this and by this method I can see all group names and members but I can't see posts. However, when I was talking of "seeing" the groups I...

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 ...

A nice idea, and well executed.

Thanks.

But the FAQ link at top of page is a simpler way for newcomers to find the FAQs.

Thanks for that, David

Thanks for the replies!

As the extension will not work in 3.2, I repeat the question - what file(s) do I need to modify?

Thanks in advance.

Hello all
I am updating from 3.0.12 to 3.1.10 and need to amend the FAQs shown on the forum.

What file should I be editing?

Thanks in advance.
