Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] allow_access() question

[<ad...@tu...>]

I had a conversation with Brian and we came up with chaning the wording on
the checkbox and maybe the position of it in the form to "change" the
functionality of it.  We could change it to "Activate Permissions" and if
a user has been "bad" the deity of the site can uncheck it which would
basicallly disable all permissions on that user.  This should allow for
Sumilang to get the functionality he needs and maybe clear up some
confusion as to the functionality of that flag.  Thoughts?
