Invision-like forum permissions

[Agent Jones]

I believe that the current permission configurator from vBulletin is really bad, when compared to Invision Power Board...

In Invision, when you edit permissions, you get all the groups at the same time, and permissions are divided into "Reading", "Viewing", "Replying", "New threads" and "Uploading" (or something like that).

This implies that it's much easier to configure each forum's permissions than with vBulletin (I recognise that the vB scheme is quite more detailed, but it takes much more time...)

What do you think of it?

you can set multiple group permissions at once using the different modes
and it is split into sections if you notice the category headers that divide it
