TShoot: Problems with File Uploads in EE2.02PB build 20100430
When I attempt to use the File Manager from EE202PB build 20100430, I see the following error:
Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in */expressionengine/config/mimes.php on line 62
What causes this, and how can I fix it?
There was a change in the /system/expressionengine/config/mimes.php file that you need to replace if you were using an earlier build of EE2.0x.
Replacing the mimes.php file fixes the problem.

Don’t Allow Non-Logged in Members to See Memberlist
Question: How can I keep Guests (non-logged in users) from seeing the member list in the forum?
Answer: You’ll need to make a slight change in your forum code to switch out a line in the logged_out code to reside in the logged_in code:
From the
{if logged_out}
{lang:welcome}
{include:top_bar_spacer}
<a href="{path:login}">{lang:login}</a>
{include:top_bar_spacer}
<a href="{path:register}">{lang:register}</a>
{include:top_bar_spacer}
<a href="{path:memberlist}">{lang:memberlist}</a>
{/if}
Remove the last line in this part of the template, and move it to the next grouping.
