Topic: Forums options

I think the forums options (Admmod only/Closed) should be in the same field (serialized). That would make it easier to make mods/new options and I don't see any negative thing with it.

Re: Forums options

How would that make it any easier?

Re: Forums options

It would not require adding a new field for every option

Re: Forums options

True, but how would you construct an SQL query that only returns e.g admmod only forums if the determining factor was in a seralized string?

Re: Forums options

Where do you do that?

Re: Forums options

You do the opposite thing all the time: select all forums that's not admmod only.

Re: Forums options

And even if I didn't do it, I would still want to have the possibility. Merging multiple fields into one field is not good practice.
