Lucy Day vs. SMF forum permissions

Before I installed the Simple Machines Forum, I didn’t know how complicated it could be to run a forum. (I used PHPBB for a while, but didn’t really get it off the ground because it was public and kept getting useless spam registrations and nothing else.) The permissions for forums are particularly complicated. The permissions belong not only to user groups but also to individual boards, so it’s hard for me to know at this point what a particular user can and can’t do. The online documentation has so far enabled me to fix every problem that’s cropped up, but I can’t believe we’ve seen the last of them…
