What can a Moderator do that a regular user cannot? My desire is to make a user a moderator with the ability to control postings within the forum in which they are designated moderator, but not throughout the board. Is this possible? -Jeff |

Well you pretty much answered your first question in your own post. The moderator can control post by deleting, editing, locking etc; the post within the forum you give them access to. To set up a user as moderator within a certain forum you could create a new moderator group and then give them moderator permissions for the particular forum or to just set the individual member up go to the Forum Membership Permissions in the Admin section then select the forum you want them to moderate then give them the desired permissions for that forum. Hope this helps! ------------- PodcastPUP: http://podcastpup.com - http://podcastpup.com 808Talk: http://808Talk.com - http://808Talk.com 808TTV: http://808Talk.tv - http://808Talk.tv |

I don't see any option on the Forum Membership Permissions in the Admin section to assign someone as moderator for a particular forum. Am I missing it somehow? -Jeff |

Is the last one to the bottom on the permissions page, it says Moderate this forum [] or something like that... ------------- FeRnAN http://www.danasoft.com/">

I think it is an option in Group and Member Permissions, not in Forum Permissions... ------------- - eric |

Right, thanks. I guess I was confused when you said "select the forum you want them to moderate", because you actually can't do that in the Member Permissions Administration, unless you are talking about selectiong generic permissions for all forum members. What you CAN do there is give certain members certain permissions. What I do NOT see (again, unless I'm missing it somehow) is a way to make someone a Moderator in ONE FORUM ONLY. In other words, here's the scenario: I have 10 different forum areas. I'd like to be able to assign person 'A' as a moderator to forum 'A' but NOT forum 'B', etc. Looking for a basic procedure to do this. It would be nice if you could select a member, and select a forum for them to be moderator of in the manner you describe, but I'm not seeing it. -Jeff |

This can't be done without modifying the code.

The simplest way would be to edit the register.asp page and the
pop_up_profile.asp page and take out the parts that allow the moderator
to edit profiles. The variable that you are looking for is blnModerator (I think) At the moment version 8.0 isn't even running as I am updating all the pages to run with the new database. However, I am at present working on a new version of version 7 which will have some bug fixes and a new CAPTCHA security code image implelmentation so people have something while I work on version 8 ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

You could try creating a new user group 'Jr Moderator' or something and assign group permissions for them to edit/delete posts.
Don't think you can set move permission without setting them as a true admin/moderator or without modifying the code.
