you moron, you're supposed to tell us AFTER you go check it so we know if it works! did it work!? i demand it to be made part of my knowledge tnx.
btw. as far as the problem goes, im guessing rukas messed up the permissions or something. im not so familiar with vbulleting but i have used phpBB and i know that you can be pretty specific about the permissions in various forums. for instance, you can decide who can to view the forum from the front page, who can to enter it and read the actual posts, who can reply to threads, who can make threads, who can edit posts, who can make stickies, etc etc. so basically, i'm sure that there's a hack for this forum that allows the extended functions for usergroups. i'm also sure that that hack modifies or adds something to the permissions control panel, and with all the various usergroups and forums on this messageboard, it's no wonder something went wrong. if i don't know what i'm talking about, ignore this post
