This is one of the easiest mods to install. I have installed it over and over and it always works right the first time.

Re: PBB User Blogs 1.2

Glad to hear that bingiman. There's definately alot of steps to follow in the read me but copy and paste has never been a hard thing. A text editor with line numbers sure helps. wink

Re: PBB User Blogs 1.2

Nice mod, but admins will need to be aware of the comment spam issues involved in opening up blog comments to the world.

Re: PBB User Blogs 1.2

Not sure how that's any different from a forum though. By default guests comments are not allowed.

Re: PBB User Blogs 1.2

Aha, that's sensible. So is your sample site http://www.soonotes.com/bbs/blog.php?cid=3&c_id=3 setup to allow guests to post?

Re: PBB User Blogs 1.2

Yes, it's currently allowing guests to comment on blogs in the 'general' category and not allowing guests to create their own blog in any category. I may have to disable guests comments though as some idiot going by the name futzer first left a comment asking about span and then left another one, since removed, which was spam.

Re: PBB User Blogs 1.2

To enable guests to post on comments, which is a handy feature of a blog for sure, you may have to go down the path of captchas etc before guests can post a comment, like other blog tools.

A pain, but necessary otherwise you will have admin headaches and spam takeovers of blog comments.

Re: PBB User Blogs 1.2

Good idea. I'll have to do that.
