Announcement Boards
1.3c
Let's you set a board as an "Announcement Board" where everyone can read posts, but only the Admin and Moderators can post/reply to topics.
Boards can be set to announcement mode in the admin center under Forum Controls - Edit Boards. This feature may be enabled/disabled at any time for a board through the admin center.
1.1: Fixed error where all boards below announcement boards were also made into announcement boards.
1.2: (Sniser) Enhanced it so you now can define if [guests / members / admins and moderators of that board] can can start threads or reply (separately, eg. only members can start threads but guests can reply (note that this does NOT override the $enable_guest_posting setting))
Also added a check in sub Post2, so you can't override it by modifying the HTML of a post page you are allowed access to.
1.3 by [CV]XXL: made it working ;)
1.3a made it compatible with file_attachment.mod
1.3b fixed enhancement
1.3c fixed enhancement again
