July 16-17 Forum Upgrade README and Discussion

[Sachmle]

Ok people see the moderator button because almost everyone is a moderator somewhere (mostly in the encyclopedia for N3). I'll strip those perms and see if it helps.

What do you guys see if you click the admin button?

Mine is  gone now, but as of last night it asked for a password (which mine worked for) and from there I could assign people to groups, including "Global Moderator". I did not, and as I said, now it is gone.

Ok, I think I found it. Buried deep in the perms after the upgrade, it had set the permission to allow all users to assign other members to groups. Not a good thing. I'll keep cleaning up.

This is why I take daily backups. :)

I don't have an admin buttons, so nothing ATM.

Ok, I've removed everyone's extra mod powers over various archived forums. I've also removed some special groups. If you no longer have access to a forum and  you need something from in there, let me know.

When I set up new encyclopedia forums, I'm going to do access control a different way which will make management easier (I hope).
