Currently, not without also making everyone who joins the conference for the first time be read-only as well (which you can do by changing the conference type to 20). > I need to be able to do this as a punitive measure for user who are being > disruptve.

This is an interesting idea though. On BBS's which don't verify users of course, this doesn't do much good, since the user can always create another account and get in. -Dave

We'd like the feature that Kaley mentions also! In addition to the ability to go back and edit titles, responses and other items at the host level.

That's good news. Any idea of a tentative release date on the next release? What version will it be?

The next release also has a more powerful (and more intuitive) access control specification system for conferences.

Will we automatically get this update in early August? Hey, that's not too far away. I'm still admiring the wordwrap feature.
