The permission change only affects the following usergroups:
1. Registered Members: members with 5 posts or less.
2. Established Members: members with 5 + posts.
Staff has not been affected by any changes.
For detailed information on changes made, please

In a nutshell, I've added an "Established Members" Usergroup for all members who have posted a minimum of 5 times within our forums. All members in this Usergroup retain full forum permissions.
The "Registered Members" Usergroup has had permissions altered in an attempt to thwart forum and/or member abuse.
Please keep in mind that this will not keep the spambots from peddling their warez in our forums nor will it help curb blatant self promotion. All this change is intended to do is add an extra layer of protection to our members while making it easier to identify nefarious users.
Should you see any changes in your permissions that you believe are incorrectly set, please post here.
Thanks,
Ken
