Do this by putting
define("DISABLE_FORUMS", true);
in your html/project/project.inc.
If this is set, admin users can still see enough forum functionality
to post and edit news items
(this is linked to from the Admin web interface).
Other users, or non-logged-in access, sees news but no forums
or forum-related info.
- Allow projects to specify how special users can be highlighted in their forums through CSS
- Special users are now highlighted by default
- Post body background is now 25% transparent in browsers that support transparency (white.css only)

There are two aspects:
1) undoing magic quotes (if it's being used).
This must be done for all GET and POST string inputs.
It is now done automatically by get_str() and post_str().
The places that refer to $_GET and $_POST directly
must do it themselves using undo_magic_quotes().
2) Escaping user-supplied strings before using them in DB queries.
This is done by process_user_text()
(which should be renamed db_escape_string()).
The new principle:
call process_user_text() in the function that does the DB query
(not at any higher level).

1) it's not correct to apply stripslashes() to all form input.
That should be done only if magic quotes is on.
I fixed this by adding a function undo_magic_quotes()
that does the right thing.
2) There's no reason to strip backslashes from user-supplied text
(forum titles and bodies, private messages, passwords etc.)
I'm not sure why this was being done.
It prevented messages from containing backslashes.

Users can choose whether to get 1 email per notification,
a daily "digest" email, or no email.
(All notifications are shown on the Account page).
Currently used for:
- Friend requests and confirmations
- Posts to subscribed threads
- Private messages
NOTE: To implement the "daily digest" feature, projects must add
a periodic task for html/ops/notify.php to config.xml
- web: have project_footer() generate links for
Account Page and Message Boards as well as Home
NOTE: projects that want this change
will have to modify their own project.inc.

rename General Prefs to Computing Prefs;
rename Forum Prefs to Community Prefs
add Prefs link if user doesn't have email PM notification
- remove forum low/high rating theshold stuff.
Message rating was a failed experiment.

For thread titles, show links to forum/category also
For posts, show complete post, with search terms highlighted.
- user web: in display of posts for a user,
show links to thread and forum also
- user web: posts/threads can become "orphaned" if their forum
disappears, e.g. team message board is deleted.
Handle this gracefully in search results and user post list
- user web: where HTML tags are allowed, say so
- user web: fix bug where wrap_postcounts weren't being shown in form
- DB: use "tinyint" instead of "tinyint(1) unsigned" etc.

should default to off.
Note: it's necessary to clear everyone's flag.
Projects will need to notify users (e.g. via a news item)
that they need to explicitly set this pref if they want email
notification of PMs
