Re: installed phpbb3 v3.3.11 with some concerns

It's worth noting that all approved 'modifications' are now with extensions which are completely separate from the core code so for most boards, updating is simply a case of replacing the core files as per the guidelines. The only changes you would potentially lose are any hard coded changes you mak...

Re: New user cannot post further until first post is approved ?

NEVER >> YES>> NO That's what you need to remember. So if there is a NEVER permission, they can't do it no matter what other groups they're in. If it's a NO permission it can be overridden by a YES from another group. The permission masks are good for tracking what a person can do based on their gro...

Re: Welcome Emails

They're all in language/en/emails (or whatever language your board is running)

No permissions needed, just edit the plain text files on the server.

Re: Reorder forums more than one position

It would have been better to write them all down in alphabetical order and then create them, that way they would already be in the right order. It's also worth considering if you need them all to start with (less is more!). 50 is a heck of a lot. If you're planning to do something by US States, it m...

Re: Only Original Poster can reply

Re: Ban all gmail "multiple dot" users

Hopefully the website name question works ok but again there's some ambiguity for people answering. Do y...

Re: Ban all gmail "multiple dot" users

You can ask a question about something in the logo. You can ask for a word somewhere on a page, like the first word of the first forum etc. Those kinds of questions need some understanding and logic of how to work out the answer. AI is not so good at those.

This needs to be NEVER. If there's a yes permission from the RU, that will not stop it.
