I thought it was funny... I am just proving your point now?



Damn I went way off topic now :(

As per others ... there was no :) involved :P I can't force peeps to take a board, certainly when I'm no longer involved in the project :D As it goes a compromise deal has been decided which means lots of work for me (hum ho) but at least we'll be using a "hybrid" of phpBB2 and phpBB "3".

As for inheritance ... far from adding complexity it does the reverse. None of this copying "roles" business (which is after all a more "capable" version of the original presets). Click a checkbox and all subfora have the same permisions and continue to inherit those permissions upon any change to the parent. So effectively you can end up changing just one foras permissions.

So who does the documentation for all these features? Whoever writes it should do a through, clear job, since the new Olympus permissions system is so much more complex than 2.0.x's perm system.

I assumed that was probably the case. Nothing like a good staff of Technical Writers to put an edge on the phpBB manual. I've read through the phpBB2.0.x manual several times. Good stuff for newbies (like I once was)

Actually 2.0.x manual was written by James "theFinn" Atkinson while he was on a bad cheese trip. He didn't ever remember writing it afterwards. To this day he calls it his "best Leerdammer trip ever" and is still recovering from it. Why do you think we don't let him do stuff any more? Just last week he tried to trade Berties for a few kilograms of Mimolette.

This reminds me of how David Wells pitched the best game of his life, a perfect game, while he was drunk. There seems to be a trend :)
