I just upgraded our forums from 1.1.6 to 2.0.3 and really like some of the new things you folks have added. However, I think some of the administration could be made just a tad easier.
My suggestions:
1a. It would be nice if there was a [reset all groups to defaults] link at forum level.
1b. Also, it would be nice to be able to reset the sub-forum group permissions to the group default by clicking at the listing level (maybe something like a [reset to group default] link) rather than having to click [edit] first.
Example:
(Picture if you will, a listing like the Modify forums link under User Groups and permissions.)
-Level 1 [reset all groups to defaults]
Group 1 [edit] [reset to group default]
Group 2 [edit] [reset to group default]
Group 3 [edit] [reset to group default]
-Level 1a [reset all groups to defaults]
Group 1 [edit] [reset to group default]
Group 2 [edit] [reset to group default]
Group 3 [edit] [reset to group default]
-Level 1b [reset all groups to defaults]
Group 1 [edit] [reset to group default]
Group 2 [edit] [reset to group default]
Group 3 [edit] [reset to group default]
-Level 1c [reset all groups to defaults]
Group 1 [edit] [reset to group default]
Group 2 [edit] [reset to group default]
Group 3 [edit] [reset to group default]
2. When editing the permissions, if anything in the custom section is clicked it would be nice if the "Use custom settings" radio button was automatically selected. I can't count the number of times I changed a custom setting and forgot to check that radio button.
Thanks and keep up the good work,
Mike
