a very nice surprise to come home to after work :thumbsup: While I am still unsure about upgrading my live boards with it it will be fun to install as a test board to see how it works. Now I just have to find time to upgrade my server to php 5. :ermm:

so are the other 29 days. :P I'm guessing it will be June 30th just so IPS can be wiseguys and say they did release it in as planned. :lol:

How do you know what I know? :unsure: :lol: I could say 'you don't actually know that' regarding your post too. :P I was just posting my original response based on the numerous topics I've seen on the subject since the early days of IPB. There clearly seems to be a lot of support for this feature. And most of the posts in this thread seem to support it so do the math. :cool:

Will IPB 3.0 have normal group managing or we will still have to use c

Why would this be a good thing? :rolleyes: I'm not even sure IPB shows the reason the user is banned when they try to login. I think it just says they are suspended or banned until a specified date you assign via the acp. :cool:

I am aware of the promote and demote members thing in IPB. ;) Joinable groups work quite qwell. The control is by the Admin's and Moderated by Moderators. Members are allowed to seek application to join a group which must be approved by a Moderator. In some cases approval may not be needed but the abillity is there as per other forum softwaere and Modifications. If you don't want it than don't use it...but I still think it should be available since the demand for it far exceeds those who oppose it. :cool: That's a built in feature in other boards and modifications. Of course the Admin would need to have that option. ;)

yes that is exactly what it is and vb and other forum software do use this feature, which I think is brillient and could really be effective in IPB. It's a way to allow users to join groups themselves as set by the forum admin. So if one wants to join a group called 'Premium Members' which would allow them access to certain forums after reaching 500 posts not allowable to Standard Members they could join this group and be approved by a Moderator or be auto-approved based on the admin's setting. This is a very nice way to upgrade members without having to manually switch them to another group as this would do it upon approval automaticly. Definately a needed feature! +1 :thumbsup:
