For some reasons the permissions are not working as they should, threads from my private forums are being displayed in the latest threads table.

Also, my announcements are not being displayed on the main page as they should.

Anyone know a reason for this? I would appreciate any help I could get!

:)

The box with 'recent articles' is always empty too - i just disabled it so users don't ask questions about it :)

Thanks Teck, I checked your forums regarding issue #1, all fixed thanks to you :).

The issue of the "Latest Forum Discussions" still pulling from my private forums....Any idea why?

(yes, I know the last posted was Xiphoid ;))

Is due to access masks settings, search the thread. :)
Btw, this issue is addressed in vbHL 4.

You can see it running on my site.. I think it was tested enough by our users to release it out of beta.

TECK, I have looked through this thread and have the permissions set accordingly via vBulletin, yet the threads still show when they should not. I even deleted the threads, logged out/logged back in, then reposted them and they still show.

Any idea why? I would appreciate any help :)

I explained to you in the previous post.
You need to set your forum perms individually, not by using access masks.

If you can wait until vbHL 4, this issue is solved there.

ah, I was not sure if that was what you meant or not :) - I will take the access masks off and just use the normal setup.

Thanks!

I guess I will wait for v4 :) - I turned access masks off and set them individually yet it still shows the posts when it should not. You have done a great job so far, I cannot wait to see what v4 holds :)

v4 will r0xx0r our s0xx0r :)

Almost done guys... we have few beta testers who are willing to share their experiences.
So far there are no current bugs, we are running vbHL 4 since a week, without any problems.

Here it is what you will see new in vbHL 4:
1. new permission set (inherited perms from parent forum)
2. latest threads fixed for some databases who upgraded from another BB
3. comments will redirect you to last comment if there are any comments, else it will let you post a new comment
4. site stats
5. article image in the right corner added (for blind people, heh)
6. true XHTML compliant code
7. CSS code generator on the fly for multiple skins
8. new options to disable certain options that were before set as default, for example latest threads
9. poll bar variable floored

The stats will add 2 extra queries, but as I said before, you can disable any page component.
At a minimum, the page load only 9 queries. With all options enabled, it will perform 23 queries, if you want to have it fully loaded.
The average no. of queries used is 15-18.
