I am still on 3.5.7. However now that I have moved to a new host I could install 3.6.x

What would be the major improvements (that are apparent to the users) of 3.6 over 3.5?

OK thanks, what command would the webhost use to restore the backup, as I can use SSH myself if I know what command to use (eg MySQLadmin)?

Incidentally I am on 3.5.7 I think, sorry about...

My server has been hacked and the database deleted and so I want to move my VB site to a new server. I have a database backup file on my PC created from the VB control panel.

I have several private forums that normal registered users cannot access. They do not see these forums in their index.

I speak English perfectly thank you (indeed, like a Native!).

The comment about Super Mods implied that they had adequate powers as they were the same as Admins except....

Sigh- Super Mods can't change users groups, can't reset people's passwords, can't change users names - shall I go on?
