Hi there,

For some reason, my banned users are not seeing the "Banned" error message when looking at the forum index.

They can view the whos online, the user CP, etc. without a banned error.

All the things under the "Banned" usergroup settings are set to no.

When viewing the forum index, there are no forums to view - it is just the "" Forum Last Post Threads Posts" header and the " Mark Forums Read View Forum Leaders ", followed by the whos online, statistics, etc.

The User CP is also accessable - users can still edit their passwords, and a bunch of other stuff.

how do I make it so banned users get the "Banned" error message on all pages they view?

Check the user profile(s) via the AdminCP. The banned usergroup should be 'Primary'.

It sounds like the Primary setting is still a normal usergroup like 'Registered', and the Banned group has been ticked (Secondary). Under this circumstance the primary usergroup settings will override the Secondary, giving a banned user access to the functionality you have described. Tested this on my board and yes, I get the same issue.

Yes, it's the primary.

The banned page shows up if they try to do some things.

Bumping this up - it's still not working properly.
