    Posted: 13 November 2003 at 7:54pm
I am having permissons trouble as admin in the group admin, all other admin controls seem to work ok as far as I can tell. However, when I try to do something in a group a get the insufficent permissions screen. I have looked at both common.asp files. They seem to be identical as far as I can tell, but I can not find my database connector. I am using SQL. I did an upgrade awhile back from 7.01 to 7.5 which is the version I am at now. BoRG was very helpfull in getting that working. I don't know if this was a problem before or after the upgrade as this is the first time I have needed to work with groups since I first set up my forum. Thank you for your assistance.

There is a known bug with version 7.5 with the Group Permisisons.

To fix this problem upgrade to version 7.51a.

You should upgrade to 7.51a anyway as a security flaw was found in version 7.5 or below.

Ok, thank you.

Looks like I will me having to make all my changes again. Maybe in a future version you could make a upgrade utility that makes a diff between the running forum and the original forum. Then the diff could be applied to the upgrade. Just a thought.

If you look in the Version Hostory file that comes with the forum zip file it will list all the changed files which is only about 6 files between 7.5 and 7.51a

That is much better than the last upgrade, but I have added a disclaimer to the bottom of every page. I would need to read the version history file again to confirm it, but I think I will be needing to change them anyhow. At least I need to check every one. Other than my disclaimer and a theme I only have one mod. My guess is that for boards that do a lot of mods upgrades are a pain, and not everyone that mods knows how to automate a diff as most are just following the mod instructions.

By the way, the one mod I am using is the one that creates the avatar list based on the files in the directory. It also may be worth adding to a furture version, as all you need to do is have good filenames and put your avatars in the correct location.

If you wish to have a look my forum as at http://www.lsd-online-forum.com

Thanks again. I will do the upgrade sometime this weekend.
