On a new install there is a Default Forum Template that has some default permissions. You can edit that and any new forums created will follow those permissions.

For the most part it will try and keep permissions as close as possible on upgrades. It sets all of the view/read/reply, edit and delete time limits, file attachment limits, etc.

If folks haven't discovered it yet, one of my favourite features is the ability to have My Stuff in its own section rather than a drop down.

I for one will be making this the default for all users, as I think it makes life a lot easier

Like what i see very much.
Just looking around as a user first

As always well done < Pat on Back >

I just found this.

That's a great tweak. I like it very much, and leaves alot of
scope for other things too.

I now have it activated.

Move with PM gets my Thumbs up

When you move a persons topic they get a pm

Very useful feature, and one that will aid keeping a tidier forum

Looks like the 30 day posters didn't make it in this time again

But Gizmo's Video did

The 30 day posters also needs re-writing - I had a go last week, but could not quite get it to work with 7.3

I see the emotions button (Full Reply) has moved along the selection bar

Listing bot names in Who's Online is optional, right? I'd rather just have it say something like Gizmo, Ian, Mark S, 23 anonymous users, 7 bots online rather than Google , MSN (5), Twiceler , Voyager , Yahoo (94) , etc (and what's with those spaces between comas?)
