    Ouch! that's a hefty price. Hopefully the transfer to phpBB will go smoothly.

    XLNation (the main site) has been giving me all kinds of trouble this morning. I have been forced to restart the server numerous times and the poor sever is just being thrashed. Not caused by XenFORO btw

    Funky Monk brought up an interesting point regarding the new XLEX (Resource Manager) here in a different thread. Currently I set the permissions such that a resource owner cannot delete a resource once its created. Should Resource Owners be allowed to delete their resources. Should moderators be allowed to delete resources? How is that handled in XLNation currently? How would everyone feel if a member got upset and then deleted all the resource content they had created?

    On the other site we can edit/delete pretty much everything. I think moderators should be able to delete things. For resource owners it wouldn't bother me if they could or couldn't. If they couldn't they can always contact a mod to delete it if they want.

    Moderators should now be able to:
    1. View Deleted Resources
    2. Delete Resources by Anyone
    3. Undelete Resources
    4. Hard-Delete Resources by Anyone
    5. Delete Resource Reviews by anyone
    6. Edit Resource Reviews by anyone
    7. Reassign Resources
    8. View Moderated Resources
    9. Approve / Unapprove Resources
    10. Feature / Unfeature Resources
    11. Give Warnings on Resources

    Make sure they work boys and girls

    I could do most things except delete my resource. Told me I didn't have permission.

    I think resource owners should be allowed to delete resources. For example if you want to update the patch and want to delete the old one. In the old site you can delete uploaded files, though you can't delete XLEX entries.

    And a question to Moderators: Is there a reason why you lock threads instead of deleting them when they are pointless or whatever? I think it's better to delete them, so the crap doesn't pile up in the forums. There are some locked XLEX entries too.

    I lock a thread so the person knows what he did wrong, usually with the intention of deleting it later on. I'll go through and delete a few now I suppose.

    Resource owners have the option to "update" their patches with newer versions. Take a look at the resource area and create a resource. Heck just add a photo. Its important you guys become familiar with all this so you can answer community questions later when more folks show up

    IcyHot wack in a PayPal Donate button somewhere, im sure some nice peeps will start donating some mulla to your account - even it's just small amounts. It all adds up, and maybe you can purchase some other cool modules.

    Are they PayPal addons or go through another payment gateway?

    PayPal is friendly and trusted by a lot more people, payPal have simple button widgets you can easily add.

    Yep, I'd go with PayPal too. It's easy and safe, you don't have to give your credit card info. And more imporantly people all over the world knows it.

    Hey guys. Love the new look... I would also like for XL Nation to move forward into this kind of a site.
    Will the rest of the site also change the look (XLEX, CJ's etc.)
    Also, how will the CJ section work? I don't see a spoiler option. Or am I just blind? It will be a pain to scroll up and down if there are lots of pics in a post...

    I can add my upcoming mod for the donation pack if there will be one.
