Re: Banned user creating havoc

It's always difficult when someone chooses to behave in that way, I wish I could offer you a solution or a sense of closure, but I think you already realise there is no real closure to be had in such circumstances. Sufficed to say that your members will know when someone is being out of place, yes, ...

Re: Banned user creating havoc

There really isn't much you can do to stop such a persistent member, but there are some things you can do in the future to reduce the chances of this type of behaviour occurring again. First and foremost, banning members 'absolutely must be a last resort', and I really do mean an absolute last resor...

Re: [resolved] Hide forum from index but not from members!

I wanted ideally for the category to be visible to admin and global mods but not to guests and members on the index, also I wanted to keep that tree structure intact, I didn't want to have to add it all to another forum as a sub-forum structure to be able to remove the links from the index. By chang...

Re: [Mod] Hide forum from index but not from members!

I would think you would want to set permissions on that category to read but not see it. So for the groups' forum permissions, set "Can see forum" = no, "Can read forum" = yes. That was the ideal solution Darcie, thank you for that, I appreciate it very much. As I said. Take the...

Re: [Discussion] Downtime and Server Compromise

Ha, I should have paid attention to the dates there, this is getting really weird, it seems everyone is talking about this hack on .com, I'm going to stop reading it all, it's starting to freak me out to much. :?

Re: [Discussion] Downtime and Server Compromise

Is this article about a planned MASS ATTACK on phpBB forums on DIGG serious?

[resolved] Hide forum from index but not from members!

Is there a way to hide a category or forum from the index yet at the same time keep viewing permissions intact? What I am trying to do is to remove my Skin support categories/forums from the index and provide a menu link to them, but I don't want to affect any of the viewing permissions for the cate...
