Is autogroup included in the new board

[richard_5421]

I've had a look at all the new screenshots for phpbb2.2 looks like it will save some
time without having to add all different mod's. I was wondering if a system like this is included http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=141342

Chit Chat is not for phpBB2.2 related discussions. Moved.

Ability to assign a single "default usergroup" for users from which colour and rank assignments are derived

Sounds like it to me.

Not quite, that doesn't cover the automatic addition of users to a group on reaching a given post count. However another feature we are planing should handle this.

/me tries to read psoTFX's mind

/me has more success figuring out the somewhat cryptic M-4 description @phpbb.com and assuming that this is one of those "modules"

Following M-3 one further milestone is planned. This will introduce some potentially quite neat modular automation capabilities (if it works out ), updated private mesagging with message "histories", forwarding, etc.

Could be interesting, indeed.

I added something like that to the last minute feature request thingy. My idea was to have it work more like the way the ranks switch via post count. What did you have planned?

From reading the various feature lists that are around, my understanding is that they want to add an event system, whereby you can specify a trigger (such as user reaches x posts) and an action (such as add user to group) and that you could use this for requirements like this.

Of course, that's one of the M-4 items so how it will work out remains to be seen.
