I think I need to look at this one again. I did it way back when I barely knew a thing about VB. There might be a better or more efficient way to handle this. Off to play :)

OK. I have improved things slightly by getting rid of the extra queries in admin/forum.php

You do not have to upgrade. The hack still works as written. I believe the person having problems didn't remember to update his forum settings in private forums.

If you want to upgrade, simply uninstall the changes in admin/forum.php and use the changes in this new file. I am going to leave the original file in the first post to aid with uninstalls.

Don't forget, after you install this hack, you MUST go update the settings on existing private forums or new usergroups will have access to them.

No. Open the modify forum screen, make sure it's checked private and then click submit even if you made no changes. That makes sure the value is updated in the new column.

Amy

Looks like a very good hack to install...... but how many queries does this add?

None to the day-to day operation of your board. Only 1 extra when you are adding a new usergroup.

Amy

That's great. Thanks, Amy.
