1) Your installing an old version then - get the later installer lol

2) Disable auto update if you dont want the latest version.

3) You cant be serious are you? Neutral

Moderator permissions on the old version was awful. It was far too cluttered. On this verison.. you just click the command.. then select from the drop down list what level of mod is required to use it. - It also displays underneath that information on what the command does. Also you cant have a problem trying to find a command as they are all sorted in alphabetical order.

On the old version There was a button called 'Permissions' underneath each mod list, you had to click on each one to setup each mod level - then the commands were all scattered around the place and were awful to manage. as you had to check the box. If you wanted to disable a command.. you had to go though each indervidual mod level and untick the command, also it always spent ages looking for the command to untick, it was very timeconsuming. Also, I found that on my server things used to get 'out of sync' and you often ended up with an admin not having access to one command.. but a temp mod having access? I thought it was awful!

Check the following two attachments, comparing the latest version against the oldest.

Latest:

index.php?t=getfile&id=4494&private=0

Old:

And considering on the old one you also had to select each indervidual mod level that you wanted to edit :/ It was awful, and very time consuming with alot of room for error.

The new system also allows for plugins to interactive with the Permissions tab alot easier as they can jsut add themselfs to the list wereas that was not possible in the old verison. I also have alot of other things planned to get changed with the permissions for the next version - but as it stands, I have no plans to revert to the previous permissions purely due to how limited and how awful they are in design.

Your the first person to really disagree with me :/
