Few Questions, Possible new user

First off, let me say, this software is very nice. Everything flows very smoothly.

I have a few questions regarding implementation of this SW. I will just list them out:

1.) Can users be globally ignored? For instance, a problem user (usually a kid) posts nonsense all the time. Can an admin simply make that users posts automatically invisible to everyone.

2.) Can it be set up so that every registration has to be reviewed by an administrator before approval is granted and the account activated?

3.) Can sponsor or banners be added to the header easily?

4.) Can a snitz based forum be upgraded to this SW? (Mainly I am concerned about keeping users, posts are not as important.

5.) Are there any banning features included with the software? How well do they work?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!!

Hi Sean,

Thanks for your inquiry. let me answer your questions one-by-one:

1) you can delete the user and remove his posts, or, you can check "moderation required for every post" so that all his posts are hidden until approved by a moderator/admin
2) yes. The setting is in the admin control panel
3) you will need to use Javascript if you don't want to mess with code, or you can add an file include to the header file
4) yes, we have a conversion script. If you only want to import users, you can prepare a comma delimited file for your users. See this for detailed info: http://www.aspplayground.net/forum/m_373880/tm.htm
