Directory permissions
- the upgrade process is supposed to do exactly this ie it runs the equivalent of the chmod.php code to fix up the file permissions.

Peer graded assignments
- These are in the nightlies but this module will probably not be in 1.0.9 (being replaced by "workshop")

Hide/Show stuff
- there's a note in the release notes about this - basically there are new styles that you will need to add to a custom theme to make it work properly. I'll be keeping a log of these changes from now on in the (new) file theme/UPGRADE.txt. I'll also try to make a more prominent warning flash up during the upgrade to alert you to this.

Authentication explanations
- I've cleaned them up.

Resource uploading -> file manager
- yes, this needs to be integrated better

oddity in being returned
- yes, this is a result of the way Moodle "bookmarks" the last place you want to go back to. it doesn't work well when using multiple windows (I use tabs all the time and experience these oddities all the time). There's a bug up on this already.

My apologies! There was a new javascript-related bug in there - in fact ALL the popup menus had stopped working. sad

Fixed in CVS and current nightly.

The culprit? A single character was lowercase instead of uppercase. You can fix it yourself by searching in lib/weblib.php for "selectedindex" and changing it to "selectedIndex".

(As an aside - can all bugs related to CVS/nightly/development versions please go in the bug tracker? ... little bugs such as this one won't affect most people).

Just edit the forum settings like any other forum. You need to be viewing the forum like this: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=1 then you should see the "Update this forum" button at the top.

If you can see 'Site News' in the main menu, then a shortcut is to turn on editing mode and use the little "edit" icon next to the forum.
