I originally moved each line 3-4 indents, but after the first indented line, it dropped everything on the same indent below the first. I double spaced between each line.

It retains the indents for me. I even had to outdent this paragraph back to normal positioning. I'm not sure whether this is browser-related.

Another thing I hadn't thought of in a while, but I don't think anyone has the ability to post in the forum "The Political World," where all the political DIR forums are sub-forums. I selected the political DIR sub-forums and can post in them, but not in the main Political World forum which is not a DIR forum, but it says I have insufficient privileges to post there. And since there haven't been any new posts in quite some time, I figure that's a problem for everyone else, too.

I remember asking about this in a message to the mods a while back, and I was told it had something to do with the board software being broken. So, now that the software is being upgraded and things are getting fixed, is that something that will be looked at?

I just checked the admin CP, and it appears that the issue has to do with inheritance of forum permissions. If all members in the "registered" user group are allowed to post in the Political World, all of that forum's sub-forums inherit this, which means that a member of, say, "Socialist Only" will then have the ability to post in "Capitalist Only," and vice versa, because both of them are in the "registered" user group.

I'm not sure how to work around this, since the only solution I can think of right now is to set the permissions for each sub-forum individually instead of having them inherited from the Political World. This would be a major hassle and may contain unforeseen problems in turn, though, because it would entail manually setting up the permissions of every single user group for every single sub-forum of the Political World.

There are 35 user groups, 19 permission settings for each forum, and seven "Only" sections in the Political World. This means we would have to configure 35 x 19 x 7 = 4,655 manual settings in total. That would be an utter and unworkable nightmare, so I'm thinking about potential alternatives right now.

Oh well, it was just a thought. Of course, another option would be to just go back to doing it the old way, where people would voluntarily refrain from posting in a section.

Where's the theme selection gone? Im stuck in the default theme and cannot test the RF theme.

It was as at the bottom of the screen with another in preferences, not there any longer

That was dangerous. If one wasn't continually careful,
one would accidentally post in the wrong DIR. Yes,
staff made bigger commissions with all the infractions
they issued, but at the expense of the little people.
**** the old way.

Pure speculation, but I'm guessing the gray/black RF theme has been scrapped and everyone is on the Auburn University theme.
