Hi Andreas,

The way I have configured is that the forum table has two fields, one field is newthread_access_cost and the other is newthread_access_period. Generally, access is for about an hour, or 360 in unixtime. So, the user can post anytime for an hour as long as NOW - timestamp_of_first_access < newthread_access_period.

That is why I thought it would be good to set/unset the access mask.

Cheers.
