Please describe your problem. My "Warning" button for both Admins and Moderators disappeared a couple years ago and I can't figure out why. I update using the full package and it isn't in the HTML using the fresh, unmodified version of Prosilver with no extensions installed on the live site. It is on the templates for both styles and the link shows when I open the templates with a browser locally but it isn't on the live board with either style. It also shows on an identical board I use for testing, with the only difference being the database and number of users and posts. I'm mystified.

Also, we screen new users and the "information" button is no longer on the approve/disapprove post page. It was very useful for that. Was it taken away or could that be related?

"Can issue warnings" and "Can view post details" are both moderator permissions.
If you view your own moderator permissions mask you can see where that permission is missing or being blocked.

All are set to "yes" as the roles and as individual users.

Sorry I managed to ask for help on a day a rogue bot is trying to cripple the server. :(

Could it be a setting in the database I could manually change? Every update has been a fresh install except for the db.

Normally you upload the files and after that you update the database.

How do you update your board?

Just like you said. I upload the entire package (except cache, files, ext, etc.) and then I run phpbbcli.php from the command line.

Always, although I was thinking about leaving that directory empty next time to see if it makes a difference.

Could you elaborate on that: surely you didn't install a new board for each update?
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Yes? Isn't that what the instructions say? Did I misunderstand? Did I take them too literally?

File replacement + updating the db is the preferred method.

Is this what you're asking for? I don't recognize the overlay in your screencap.

Sorry for the slowness again if anyone is trying to reach the site. There's been a bot flooding the site with requests the last couple days. I've tried to block it but I haven't been successful.
