I just discovered that Newbie level members can post into one of my forums set for Admin Only reply. I was wondering how someone replied to one of my posts in my Site Update Notices forum which has everything set for Admin Only except for Access. I changed my own (secondary - not Admin) account down from Admin level to Senior Member and went into the forum. It said I could not post (and rightly so). I set the level down to Newbie and the reply form shows up. Aside from possibly upgrading to the current 7.5 beta version, how can I fix this myself? I know I could go through the code myself, but that could be a tedious task, especially if someone knows the fix already. I am using 7.01 Access version. Thanks! ------------- Dave |

| Check your permissions for the newbie group on the admin forum, they sure have permission to post there as this is not a bug on ver 7.01, i don't have that problem with my forum which is 7.01 and never heard of it neither. |

Thanks for the reply, but I tried looking there already, unless I'm looking in the wrong spot. Under User Group Details for Newbies, I don't see anything to set that is related to posting. Just the name, number of stars, and ladder group details which are all the forum defaults. Where else should I be looking? ------------- Dave |

Look at the last one on the bottom where it says moderate this forum, does it has a check mark?
That code at the right are suppossed to be checkboxes |

OK, thanks again for the response. I went through each group and assigned permissions for each to have only Forum Access only. That seems to have worked. I thought I only had to do this if a group had access different than the defaults for the forum. If I have to do this for every forum and every group, why are there forum defaults? At least it seems to have cleared up this problem.

No, I don't believe I changed it by accident before. All user groups were the forum defaults, with the exception of the moderator group, which I added to a different forum. I didn't think I had to actually add assign the permissions of every group to every forum. It was my understanding that only groups that were different than the default settings for a particular forum needed to be changed. Oh well. The main thing it's now working as intended. I'm glad you pointed me in the right direction. ------------- Dave |
