I recently rebuilt the sites access control system. This system determines what pages you can view, what topics you can view/reply/edit/etc, as well as gives access to super mods and admins. You may experience some weirdness because the access levels have changed. Re-logging in should fix this.

If you experience any other weird problems, please report them here.

I can now see member's IP (including yours, Gears), I also see the moderate button, and I can edit posts as well. I checked and I can do it for all categories.

Don't tell him! Just ban gears and mod yourself up to King Mod.

Edit: Well I was late, lol. Guess I shouldn't open a new tab and get back to it half an hour later.

huh, the moderate button just went away, i saw it on the top of the page whenever i was in a topic, but its gone now.

edit: also the create a new topic is just missing in the developers blog, which makes sense now that i think about it. i have it in the normal parts of the forum.

Yes! our mighty overlord has returned with gifts!

Cool to see you are still developing the site gearv0sh, was looking pretty grim in here for the last couple of weeks.
