Once Rick helped out and we understood the different ways 6.5.5 lets mods change things, we were off and running.

But, over time, several items seem to no longer be there that worked last week:

1) When we go into "Edit Post", we no longer have the box to "uncheck" which said "Show post as edited".

2) In the Admin console, we can no-longer - "become the user" which we used to check proper installation of Avatars

3) In the Admin console, the checkbox for banning seems to not work, we have been trying to "unban a user" box is unchecked... but when we click "become user" it says we can't, because the user is banned.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as we have several users that got banned (not sure how) when we did the upgrade. Thanks in advance.

#1 As an admin or moderator, if you are editing someone else's post there is no way to not show the post as edited. It's been requested to make this optional and it's on my list of things to do, however it's not a feature of 7.0 at this time either.

#2 What happens when you try to become this user?

#3 If I'm understanding correctly, you want the box to be checked. In 6.5.5 the box you're looking for is "Member has access rights". If this is unchecked, then that means they are banned.

#1 - Cool, it will be nice to be able to correct spelling errors W/O making it look like mods did anything to the content smile

#2 - When you hit the "become this user" button it depreeses and throws you into the main index but you are still yourself, you do not become that user.

3# seems to be OK, we must have made an error.

Thanks again.
