Forum Permissions

by JulieG January 16th 2010, 4:43 pm

I have set a new group 'inactive member', and any new member is added to this group until they make their first post. I have set forum permissions so that inactive members have limited access, and it all seemed ok, until now, and I dont know what has gone wrong, but they appear to be able to view all the topics, even though permissions are set otherwise? Any ideas?

You move these members to that group manually?

are you sure they're not already subscribed to another group?

Yep, I have added them all manually to the inactive group.

Can you show a screenshot of the permissions on a forum?

How do you think are they able to see?

I created a test member, and I could see all the categories.

Can you post a screenshot of the above part...of the permissions thing.

Do you mean this part?

The permissions look fine. Can you PM me the details of that test account?

Aah, I just tried the test account this morning and it seems to be ok now. Wonder if it was because I hadnt deleted my cookies?

Thanks guys for your help though.
