So unfortunatly the serialized array will stay in place, you can still do everything, but it does make things a little more difficult.

I agree with you, you are right, it's better. Now, when is that private tutoring class you promised me on the use of serialized columns? LoL

Admin's are allowed to dis-allow usergroups from accessing certain rooms? Sounds good to me, i'm guessing as default any rooms created by members would be accessible by all? If so it sounds good, i may wait untill v2.3 for that though.

Rooms created by non-admins/mod/supermods are accessible to all, unless a password is set, in which case they are accessible to all who know the password. But in Permanent rooms (which can only be created by the staff), I would suggest a way to define NOT which groups CANNOT go in, but which groups are allowed to go in.

The issue with that is very easy to fix, i'll just make it so when a room is deleted via ACP or the auto prune, it just prunes that room's messages with it

And then I 'll have to copy your code to my log out routine, so that the contents of a room are deleted when the last user logs out of that room, as well. Perfect!

Changing straight to chat room, sounds good to me, no need to change the program, notice that if "nojoin=1" is within the URL, the message to say they have joined will not occur

Ah! Grasshoper, now I see it! LoL

Permanent change in ACP control, yes that should of been in, it completely escaped my mind. I'll do that for v2.2

I'll be looking forward to it.

A change log, hmm, i sometimes change the same thing 3 or more time's, i think what would be better is a program to differentiate the differences between the 2 files, many use it on here to see what changes vBulletin made to upgrade to the newest version, one program i know of is here: http://www.araxis.com/, or if you want the direct .exe file link: http://www.araxis.net/files/merge60_win32_evl.exe
I hope that will help you, i believe it would make things easier for you and me in that respect

Tell me about it! Files is not an issue, I use Beyond Compare for that. The bloody templates is what bothers me. You have to save them in files, and then compare them. And since you use the installer, I have to copy them from the XML file and copy the ones from the database and then compare. Ah, don't worry about it. I'll find my way, as long as you do not issue as many upgrades as I used to issue with AWS (1-2 a day!! LoL).

Time to start on v2.2 i believe...

What? It's not out yet? So last night you were at the local pub instead of coding???
