This method of module or theme installation is terrible. None of these bogus methods of changing permissions work unless you have root access and permissions on your account. RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT INSTALL ANY MODULE THAT LOCKS YOUR FILES. The only way around it to make any changes, is to install it as per the author, after the install, copy all files to your HD, Then upload into a different directory in modules, then change the name of the original to something like SF_forum-protected, then change the name of the new different directory (which is writable) to the original name. Then you can change what you want and it will still be functional. The problem is that it will take up space with the original (which you can't delete), and you will not be able to uninstall, UNLESS you reverse the procedure above. Installing anything as owner nobody is very dangerous. Other wise WB is great, the best. Watch out for these 3rd party modules. You are at risk. Notice the little or no descriptions. There seems to be no monitoring of them or testing and no help except from others who tried them.

kweitzel:
I am sorry to say, but what you write is b*******. The issue you refer to is related to your server configuration and NOT due to WB.

On a propperly configured server (and there are thousands of different ones around) you do not have to go that way.
