*goes to test*

OOOH, OOOOH, OOOOH, i have shouts!

Great work Brett, can't wait to see pm folders ported ..

Well, everything looks perfect and acts perfect on the userside... Waiting for al to post findings on cp side...

No polls option for megamods in cp (allow megamods to make polls)
No directory option for megamods under status

couple things.

It took less than 10 minutes for the demodding bug to show up. Also, it had to remove the lines

because it caused a white page for the member manage page.

Also, you can't let megamods create or vote in polls.

And megamods aren't listed in the directory dropdown, and they are listed last in the directory.

Also, any change of getting more explanation on the megamod page? It just shows some text boxes. If I hadn't used the megamod hack before, I would just start typing in public names

That demodding bug is nutz, it never goes away. I would love for this to work.

Alright, just did some updates. If you installed the version from last night, Click Here , then download the zip and reupload the .pl file.

I'm not getting this demodding bug, maybe cuz i only have 2 members on my test board. So if you get 8 people on there, it only saves 7? er..

EDIT: Gizzy, i have the pm folders ported, but i'm putting in sorting, it should be done tomorrow.

That seems to have done the trick, it's working VERY well.

Brett, that's a different demodding bug where the 8th person is never modded. I'm talking about when after a couple posts, all of a sudden the Megamods are all demodded, but are still listed as megamods in the cp

I have a user that's a megamod on Netwerkin so i'll be banging on this pretty hard. I used to have my account as a megamod and a user that never ever logged into the board itself was the admin. That way I didn't have to worry about having my account hijacked and losing total control of the board till I got to the FTP.

I'll keep y'all (<---southern drawl sound) posted.

Well, so far I've been posting like crazy with the test account and no odd behavior or demodding. I know that it will fail just after I proclaim it working.

Okay, I ended up uninstalling this. It didn't demod anyone but it did have a one behavior that I had to fix. I wasn't able to let moderators select their own avatars with this mod in. It affected the way that the avatar page behaved in the profile section of the CP. I didn't look at the code myself to try to figure out why.

If anyone (CC, help please!) has a chance to really look at this hack it would be really nice to have it working.

Moderators can't have custom titles either. It automatically unchecks the checkbox upon submission, and it's not bold like the rest of the groups

It can't be far from working though, the actual moderator functions on the boards were working.

and no one has been demodded this time.. so I think that bug might be fixed somehow. Only issue I have with this is the custom avatar/title thing

could it be that (mega ?moderator) replacement for Moderator in some of the pages?

Yo Bretty, any word on this?

*waits patiently*

last I heard he was swamped, give him a few days...
