It's just as editor friendly; it just looks like when you installed your forum you didn't chmod the language/ files 666
Actually I didn't install it, the program installed itself, which was awesome. I had the old style UBB, which was discontinued. That made getting Threads a necessity. As I recall (this was back in 2008) it left a copy of my old board while it did all the work building the new threads board and transferring the quarter million posts from my old UBB board.
That's what made the whole shift to Threads so attractive. It left my old board intact in case anything happened that screwed up the creation of the new Threads board. This is my long, roundabout way of saying I didn't do any of the CHMOD setting of permissions. The UBB Classic-to-UBB Threads program did all that. But, thanks to you I set the file to 666 and now newbies will get the "you don't have permission to create a signature" message.
I'll work on getting up the guts to upgrade to the newest version
