Would be nice to have an administrator only extension which allows to add pages of informational text. For example an FAQ page or terms and conditions page or an About page etc..
I know that could just be entered as a sticky post in its own category but it would be nice to have it auto entered on main menu too.
So the idea is that any number of informational pages could be created by the administrator.

forget that. I found the answer in groups/members settings.

I've installed this plugin and found the settings to switch registration approval on or off. But I can't find anything to switch post approval on or off. I really only want registration aproval and not post approval. Is there any way to have it work like that ?

Thanks

the problem with running a any forum on a PDA is that entering the text is a pain. They are suitable for byte size text only. Thats why twitter is so good.
Best solution is to pop out and buy an IPAD which has a 1024x768 screen. Problem solved. You just need bigger pockets to put it in.

Finally, I modded punBB code so that it doesn't cause problem on non UTF-8 mail clients. i.e. changed the code causing the problem. It works fine in Eudora now. (hope it doesn't cause me probs elsewhere but I don't think so.

Problem sorted. It seems I had some settings wrong in Outlook which gave me blank messages when reading them. I've tweaked them and it works now.
Eudora will always show message as I posted as it doesn't decode utf-8.
Consensus at Hmailserver is that UTF-8 encoding subject and from fields like that is unecessary but its fine if mail client can handle it which I guess modern ones can. Older ones may not.

Is this punBB or is it mail server causing problem.

I just installed a local version of punBB 1.3.4 and when testing registrations I see that sent email message has UTF-8 data in message subject and email from fields. Infact when I registered here to post this question the same happens and I got the following in email message headers.

Subject: =?UTF-8?B?V2VsY29tZSB0byBQdW5CQiBGb3J1bXMh?=
From: =?UTF-8?B?UHVuQkIgRm9ydW1zIE1haWxlcg==?= <slava@informer.com>

I s this meant happen because outlook doesn't seem to be able to interpret the messsage at all whilst Eudora can read it from mailserver but it looks like above. I'm not sure whether problem is my mailserver or punBB so if anyone can shed any light on it it would be much appreciated.

Thanks
