Page Permissions

Filed under: MOD Writing — Dave Rathbun @ 7:28 am Comments Off 

Well over a year ago I started collecting ideas for a MOD called “Page Permissions” on phpbb.com. The idea was simple: people want to set limits on what guests can do on various pages, and phpBB does not offer that option out of the box. Time to start writing some code. :-)
