That might sense about the announcement, I just had a closed forum and when I made on post an announcement for all forums came back and found a bunch of replies, so I thought I'd mention it...
About the permissions I undertand what you're saying but I'll explain why I don't think that's the best way to do it. The 'Private Groups' has a '3' value. When you look on the permissions function it's not used at all, so basically Private Groups = Off, the only difference is that if it's set to off the admin can't use the function unless it's overided by member or group permissions, right.?
Well that makes some sense but look at this situation, let's suppose you got a forum where you allow 1000 members to upload files and you use member permissions for that, then for any reason you don't want to allow anymore uploads on that forum. The way the forum is designed right now you would have to edit the permissions for the 1000 members one by one or run a query on the db to remove all the permissions which a lot of people can't do. Now if you set it so that Off can't be overrided by other permissions like I did on my forum then all you have to do is go to that forum permissions and turn it off. That would make things a lot easier for many people and won't take any functionality from the forum.
Does that makes sense or is it just me..?
