Re: Giving Warnings as a moderator (suggestions to make it less personal)

Your board must have a lot of inflammatory topics. The only time I've had trouble as a moderator was with the "the rules don't apply to me crowd". They would reply rudely, and we'd have a less than fun conversation via PM, then they'd really cross the line and they'd become party of the &q...

Re: Make the moderation queue more useful?

Also eventually y...

Re: Make the moderation queue more useful?

Sounds like you are describing the index of the MCP(ie the MAIN tab), need to click on the one right next to it called "Moderation queue":

Re: Interfacing with phpBB's user system

This isn't the appropriate board for these questions. You should be asking them on our main support board in the "Extension Writers Discussion" forum: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewforum.php?f=461

Re: Contact Menu Support?

WLM was the newish name for the old MSN protocol. By now MS has shutdown WLM worldwide as China was the last holdout(shutdown 18 months after the rest of the world). ICQ usage seems large in Russia(it was bought by mail.ru, back in 2010). While AIM still exist right now at least the move to shutdown...

Re: Make it less cluttered: My suggestions

What do you think about this instead?: navbar.png Place FAQ + ACP + MCP below profile? There's nothing there anyway. They are as accessible as now. I believe the reason they weren't put there is that is that same line is the line that contains the Forum+Categories: example: Area51 > Board index > p...
