User Guide

[MC] Forum Layouts replaces the default forum index with a richer landing experience and adds two alternate layouts on top of the standard one. This guide covers installation, the three layouts, every option on the AdminCP options page, per-forum settings, the user permission, and an alphabetical reference.

Versioning

Always back up the database before upgrading. Patch releases are bug fixes only and are safe to apply without a backup, though one is still recommended.
