"global" forum setting change?

[MelanieC]

How/where would I make a global setting change for forums? Specifically now allowing the use of [IMG] tags everywhere?

Admin CP > Forums & Moderators > Forum Manager > Edit Forum

Under the box labeled "Enable/Disable Features."

That's not really global is it, you still have to do it on a forum by forum basis?

Yes, that is what i am looking to avoid -- I have, er, 200+ forums? Even a pointer on a direct code change would be helpful.

You'd have to do this via a query; so first enable yourself SQL query access via config.php; and then execute one of these queries:

To turn on/off Images for all forums:
On: UPDATE forum SET options=options + 128 WHERE NOT(options & 128);
Off: UPDATE forum SET options=options - 128 WHERE (options & 128);

Don't forget to include tableprefix if you're using it...

For this and more fun and useful queries, see this thread.

Note: Running queries is to be considered as advanced and relatively unsupported (hence disabled by default). Please backup before you use queries to directly manipulate your database.

Thanks for the help Andy!
