These Permissions Are Current as of October 2020
Permissions are the privileges assigned to the major User Groups. These permissions are based on open discussions (June 2020) prior to the migration to the new software.
There are three main User Groups which are defined as follows:
Supporting Member: Those Registered Members who have supported this forum financially at the minimum level that we established in our discussions.
Registered Member: All other forum Members
Guests / Not Logged In: Either a true Guest (not registered) or a Registered Member who is not logged in.
Member Permission Matrix
NOTES (reference Note # above)
1) About Uploaded Photos: Images will be resized to 800 pixels wide. The original of the image on your device must not exceed 6 MB / 6000KB. For events, please limit posts to five (5) images then remote host (hot link) additional photos.
Also, I am going to ask that, once photo uploading is activated that everyone does not rush to simply test the functionality. I will set up a thread in the Admin Photos area for testing but will clean these test posts out periodically to avoid filling the file system with test images. I hope you understand.
2) Inserted images (like today) must be remote hosted (hot link). These will also be resized to 800 pixels wide to avoid the creation of vertical scroll bars.
3) The default setting in the new software is normally set to show ONLY a thumbnail of the image to Guests / Those not logged in. An override is in place so that a full size image is displayed.
4) This is the ability to send a PM to multiple recipients. This will be set to 2. That is, the originator plus 2. THIS HAS YET TO BE ACTIVATED.
5) There is an option to allow for conversations with people that can't START a conversation but CAN REPLY. By default this is set to NO. This has been turned on. This could be useful when a Registered Member replies to a classified ad by saying "please contact me". THIS HAS YET TO BE ACTIVATED.
Restating this as an example: A Supporting Member places a Classified Ad. A Registered Member replies to the post indicating that they are interested or need more details. The Supporting Member could then message them and carry on a conversation. This would require that Registered Members be allowed to REPLY (but not start) conversations. THIS HAS YET TO BE ACTIVATED.
