Q&A
1. Why is it V0.10?
Well, when i started this mod', i had some good ideas with it, and i started to loose intrest after a while.
I got the "base" made, so i thought, "why not release it?"
So, i have. If i get enough installs, or a positive response to the mod', i will glady spend more time, adding the features i wanted.
2. Oooh...What new features?
Not too many features...things such as...
Featured Thread ordering
The ability to show the featured threads on the forumhome, or on everypage.
Ability to show what information is displayed in the features thread box.
Yeh, these are pritty easy to do, i just don't have the dedication i need to make them, like i said, if i get a good response, expect to see them soon.
3. How many usergroups...?
The option, that allows you to choose certain usergroups to access this mod', is limited to 12 different usergroups.
Not because i'm being mean, i just did the usergroup permission, in my code useing explode and arrays.
Don't ask why, i just did. : /
That will be improved when/if V1 is released.
Changelog
0.10 - Release.
0.11 - Set default value on "Show x" option to 4, to stop confusion with mysql_errors
0.12 - Edited Enable/Disable option from Radio buttons, to a simple Yes / No boolean to avoid errors.
