hello, I was just wondering if there is the option of setting management using the ranks option. Because all I can currently find is the option of going through each forum and changing its permissions (what is the difference between "reg" and "private"?).
If it is possible to use ranks as a way of determining what a person can/cannot do can someone please tell me? Thanks
No ranks can't be used to set permissions without modifying the code.
Reg = the permission is available to all registered members.
Private = the permission is available only to certain members. This can be determined on an individual basis (member by member) or it can be set through usergroups.
Usergroups are the way you should set permissions that you don't want set for all registered members.
There is also a mod that automatically adds users to a group after a certain amount of posts. That could be your solution if you want to have total post count based permissions.
Let me know if you need help working out the permissions.
