It's also possible that I will be elected Pope. Possible, yes. Probable, no. Just sit tight.

Now, some folks had been betting on April 1st before. But, umm... that was... hmm... last year!

Generally, yes. However, there are definite instances where I would love to be able to allow a user access to a single, private forum for airing of issues before the staff, as it becomes easier than e-mail or PM, and there is a better record of it. It's also handy for blocking a user's access to a given forum individually if they become enough of a pest.
You can never go home again... but I guess you can shop there.

Is there / will there be a way to let the permissions from a forum/category propagate to the subforums upon creation? Maybe it is in allready, but then I overlooked. (next to the presets I mean)

It is great that so many things can be set through permissions now.

Thanks paulus,
It's about time I refresh my cvs version, many changes I noticed (I hope I don't have to refix all I had fixed before).

Also thanks to the moderators for having left the link, this should shut up some unbelievers

Would it be a unbeliever? Or a non-believer? :lol: I don't think I unbelieve in anything, but there are sure plenty of things I'm a non-believer of!

I'm think beta (or major update) April 4th, marking 4 years since the release of 2.0

Yes, thanks, paulus and also thanks to the moderators. After seeing what I did, I guess I'll have to move up my estimate of when phpBB 3.0 will be released for beta testing by a couple of years!

Is it really necessary to prove your ignorance in development matters?
Aside from that, what the F are you trying to achieve anyway with your in-, un- or non-constructive posts?

Don't bother answering - contrary to my previous stance, it seems I may well develop a Karma feature myself. :lol:
