New restriction ?

Are you sure ? I'm not allowed to ...
In the old forum it was possible to answer - in fact it was the only part of this forum i posted in.

Well i'll have to make heavy use of mails to continue working on the XVI-XVII mod.

We can now only post in the Alchemist Lab, I believe...:\

Ah well, now some people will be confused about my posts in there:p

At least I gave the one guy I was talkin' to my Email already *whew!*

Just have to do this the hard way... I suppose... *Lol* (note, this is quickreply, so I can't use the cool smilies I'd insert at several parts of this post:D)

Hello,

There are 7 default usergroups and 12 imported from Ikonboard. More than required, so I swapped and deleted some. Two things happened there:

-Junior Patrons were set to the normal system of permissions.
-I made a mistake when setting the custom permissions for some forums (there are a few), sorry.

Title. The board has a default system of labelling usergroups. It's confusing the one we use.

Junior Patrons can also post in the Multiplayer forums.

I noticed some Junior Patrons were able to become Junior Members after the new boards were up. I was under the impression that this was done on purpose, but if I'm wrong, we're now being put back to Junior Patrons, and will have to wait, once more, to become Junior Members again? Also, why, on those members who were switched back from Junior Members to Junior Patrons, does it say "Junior Patrons" (note the 'S' on the end) under our names, unlike the regular "Junior Patron"

Anyway, I was a Junior Member by default when I got back on after the upgrade, but now I've been booted back, so I now won't be able to post again as a junior member until I rerecieve the title?

Rather odd and unfortunate, but oh well:\ Thanks for the information, nonetheless!

No, Junior Members were not demoted to Junior Patrons. It was just that the default vbulletin titlesystem called them Junior Members, but they never were. Confusing, isn't it?

It is true that the Junior Patrons permissions were a bit more relaxed the past few days. Setting up the basics was more important: make sure people can read and post.

Ah, it all makes sense now. Both of those things confused me. I figured I should have been a JP, but it said I was a JM, and I had their privilages, which made it seem more correct.

Also, I read in some random post (which I think has been edited) about the new system that "all Junior Patrons that moved over from the old forums have been promoted to Junior members". Which made things very confusing...

Thanks for clearing that up!

I'm one of the moderators and it took me a few days to get permission to log on to the forum... so we are not doing it to annoy the patrons... we are the patrons as well.

Just happey that TosaInu had a backup forum as the other one sank like the Titanic.
