phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

Fair enough, Kev - the functionality is there, then. Personally I think it's just more intuitive to have it there from scratch, that's all.

It's a workaround, Frank, I'll give you that! But really this should be a straightforward option in the admin. Something for the developers to think about, perhaps.

Well maybe... But I have to agree with fitnessbrain - it really should be a no-brainer for a permissioned admin to be able to add users.

So why not stick them up front, where you'd expect to find them? ------ Having found my user, who has just regis...

Hi, I've always liked the look of PHPBB boards and have just installed 3.0.12 (via host's auto-install of script) to run a group. Install was easy but what on earth is going on with the user management interface? When IO go to 'manage users' I expect to see a....well, a list of users!! Instead I jus...
