How to properly use the new auto-promotion for groups

...and "restore" ranks

The best way to use the new feature is to create a new default group (maybe called "New members") that is not allowed to post links (see group permissions). Then, you can automatically promote the members of this group to your old default group (maybe "Members") once they have reached e.g. 5 or 10 posts.

While it is not particularly easy or pretty right now, it is possible to basically restore the ranks functionality. You can do so by copying your new default group (once you're content with it) as often as you'd like, and then changing their default user titles according to your ranks. As a last step, you need to set up the auto-promotion.

You can simply add a main.tpl to a folder with the same name as the style (in the style/ directory). So, for a style named "example" (you should already find an example.css), put it in example/main.tpl. It will be loaded automatically.

Did you add this at the end or beginning of Air.css - that might be the problem, because there's already a CSS rule regarding .pun in there, and if you added yours too early, you might not have overwritten it.

Do you mind sharing the link? That way we can check what you did (wrong).

Have you tried searching the forums? We've had this same question at least twice in the last month...

Add this to your stylesheet:

p.modlist { display: none; }

Sounds good for an extension, I'd say

Isn't that kind of against the point of censoring? After all, we remove (or replace) these words for a reason

Well, the two branches would not diverge by much - the only difference would be the anti-spam features, everything else would continually be merged.

I think the main idea was to keep people from complaining about having to do large updates like this, but as it stands, they don't have to, as none of the changes are security-relevant, so that might be okay, unless we hear otherwise?

But I do see your point and mostly agree.
So, my suggestion now: only continue the 1.5 branch (our numbering scheme forces us to increase the number), which would then basically be v1.4.10.

Unless people complain? But then again, we can't make everyone happy, and I'd personally agree that this approach keeps us a little more relaxed.

Thank you, I pushed the update.

Moved.

I suppose you need to delete your cache (delete all PHP files in the cache/ directory).

Not a good reason, be patient

Then I suggest you do that - everything will become much easier suddenly, trust me.

Well, did you import your database from PunBB-Hosting, as Smartys said?
