Development Discussion Board

I would like to be able to mod the board by clicking on "Moderator Control Panel" directly instead of moving to the forum and then click on "Moderator Control Panel".

And is it possible to disable the TEAM display? I've searched for a switch but couldn't find it.

Tanks for the tip paulus.

What I would like is a options where admins can force ppl to search the forums first before starting a new topic or perhaps even posting something. The user would enter there message, when they post they get the search result and can choice to post it in one of those ...

prosilver can easily be edited to have the profile info on the left. It takes like 3 edits to the css files.

There is a tutorial for it somewhere on phpbb.com, perhaps in the KB.

Edititing CSS ...

$template->assign_block_vars('topicrow', array(...));

And other times like this:
$arr = array(...);

phpbb 3.0 is still RC, but I was wondering what's the advise on creating a template and mods.
