Hi all, I'm a soon to be ex-Snitz user. Four years ago it was ideal for me setting up my first forum, but in that time the base code hasn't changed at all bar some bug fixes and security patches. I've got bored of having to apply mods to get basic functionality, only to have to redo them when yet another minor release comes out. I can't see things changing with the "head in the sand" attitude that some of the leads there have, so here I am!! 
I've only spent a couple of hours looking through Web Wez, but I really like what I see so far. I have come up with a couple of queries. 1) Can moderators not change a member's group? I run a site where I need my Moderators to easily give access to a private area (it's for a club's paid up member's area). I had a little play setting up users and a moderator, but could only see the Admin could do it. I'm guessing it could be an easy coding fix to modify? 2) Is there a way to stop post counts increasing in certain forum areas. We implement this to reduce spam fairies posting rubbish to increase their post count and bolster their egos. Also it ties in with other website functions that get enabled over certain post counts to deter abuse of facilites by freeloaders. BTW, I couldn't post this using the WSYWIG editor and had to turn it off?!? 
Cheers!! |
