Sorry for the dopuble post, but I remembered something important:

To create a moderator group, do the following:

  1. Go into the Admin area.
  2. Go to Group Administration.
  3. Create a new group.
  4. Then go to the Group Permissions Administration.
  5. Assign the new group moderator rights in the forums you want the group to moderate.

Alternately, you can use the Membership Permissions Administration to give a user moderator rights regardless of what group they are in.

Hope that helps.

Group 1 = Administrators
Group 2 = Guests

Do not mess with these two group numbers and only use them for their intended purposes.  If you try to use them for anything else, you will screw up the permissions since the forum is hard coded to give these two groups certain permissions.

Create a new group for moderators and don't use Group 1 or 2 to do so.

The database comes with 2 biult in groups and accounts.

The admin group and admin account and the guest group and guest user account.

DO NOT tamper or change these or you will do what you have done and screw up the forum installation.

You may need to start again with a fresh install.

Dear Bruce,

Members of the Moderator group are unable to function in the site like any members of other groups. For example, they cannot post, edit, etc... unless I type the following line in common.asp

If intGroupID = 2 Then blnModerator = 1

The problem is that I assume there is something is wrong since I assume that your code already takes care of it. If not, is this a bug. If indeed, there is no problem, then what have I setup wrong.

I do have a Moderator group with group_id = 2 in tblGroup.

 

Also, when I try to setup the permissions for the Moderator group, oh boy! Once I check the "Moderate" checkbox, the whole site's administrative options become exposed to any Guest user. Then, any visitor to the site can actually function as an admin.

Help!
