All seems to be ok with the installation of our threads, and the new forums seem to be working fine, but on the Permission Checks page there are a number of fails. I thought I was careful with permissions on files uploading but perhaps now!

The permission checker for the installer only checks the permissions of files which are required for installation as some users will not want to utilize some features.
A basic rule of thumb is that all files should be 666, and all folders 777; however from a security standpoint a lot of users don't like setting such permissions on files.
Additionally, some features of the control panel require 666/777 permissions, such as the template editor, and the language editor (At least to edit the files in the control panel).
Simply put, the fix is to go in and chmod the files and folders as they're supposed to be, according to the permission checker.
Thanks. But with the images folders and images files what do they need to be set at? On the installation guide, nothing is written about the images files.

Well, look at the errors... The cache is failing because the placeholder file isn't chmodded... the placeholder file (index.html/index.htm) are never written to, so chmodding them is kinda pointless...
