Please create a temporary account on your board an tell me the details via PN so I can have a look.

Rob, two points:
1. You didn't enabled the "Restriction mode", so permissions are not checked.
2. You set forum permissions manually to "Deny All", except for the Admins.

Reset the forum permissions and enable restriction mode. The restriction mode does set the permissions based on users memberstatus and usergroup permission.

Thanks Dude, it all works. Not exactly as I might like but I am sure you can get there! ;)

Still have to manually remove forum if a group is deleted.
Only way to see forums is by looking in the Admin CP.

Now, does anyone know how to change the profile template to not show user created social groups?

how would I go about 'deleting' a social group forum and then recreate it? I've got one social group, that for some reason is pointing to a wrong forum ID and won't work. I'd like to delete it and redo it

Thanks

u can just delete it from the AdminCP under Forums & Moderators. Then refresh the Group page, the "Create Forum" link should reappear :)

1. Should Users that are not a Member of this Group allowed to read open Forums?
2. Should Users that are not a Member of this Group allowed to write open Forums?
3. Should Users that are not a Member of this Group allowed to read private Forums?
4. Should Users that are not a Member of this Group allowed to write private Forums?

Yes, what redlabour has suggested would be a lot easier to understand :)

I just came from vbulletin.com, having had my first look at vB 3.7, and was disappointed with their half-hearted attempt at social groups. This mod might just have convinced me to renew my old vB licence. ;)

One quick question - is it possible to require users to subscribe (pay) to join a social forum? If not, would I be able to help by funding the development of that particular feature for this mod?

What can I do to link a already existing forum (a forum that I had before this mod came out) to a social group.

Be careful even with that..."group" could mean "Social group" or "User group". Given that you're in the user group manager, some people may get confused.

Wording that is not going to be easy.
