I'd like to set up my forum such that new users cannot place signatures under their postings - until after they have been posting for a while (maybe 20 posts then automatically allow then to use sig lines).

Is this feature built into fud forums?

One other feature we need is to be able to allow postings freely in all forums except certain specified sections/forums - but have it require moderator approval before becoming live for those special sections/forums. I'd like for *any* board member however to be able to post a reply once the first posting's approved. Is this a feature of fud, also?

Unfortunately not. However, you can globally enable/disable signatures (see signature settings in the ACP). It would be great if you can prepare a patch for us...

I will have to learn a new programming language. It has been many years since I programmed in pascal. lol... What version of php is this written in, and is the code well laid out and documented?
