  • - Voting allows users to vote down posts and users.
  • +/- Voting allows users to vote up and down posts and users..
Post Life time
  • Specifies How long the posts should be kept.
Encryption
  • Says whether the posts in this group should be encrypted on the server. It does not enable encryption of wiki pages or media uploaded to a group. Enabling encryption means that posts will no longer be searchable. Once you choose a group as encrypted, you are not able to change it to be unencrypted. Similarly, you can't change an unencrypted group into a encrypted one. Yioop maintains two databases a private and public one. Encrypted posts are stored in the public database, group keys needed to decrypt and display them are stored in a private database. Each post is encrypted using the group key and a unique per post random salt vector. The idea is if an intruder steals only one of the two databases it will be difficult for them to decrypt the posts.
