In the Pro version there is a cron job that runs immediately after the promotions check is done that will (should) catch the join requests, but for the Lite version there is a Maintenance tool (Threadmins in the ACP and Maintenance) called Group Moderators - Check Users in Usergroups. Running that should pick up any missing moderator permissions.

In the next update I'll have a look at seeing if we can pick up the join requests normally. Not sure on an eta for it atm as I'm completing another project before I can give my attention to Threadmins again. :)

Thanks for picking up this issue, we really appreciate the feedback from the users. :)

This is very useful, but it looks like "Thread Admins" (= permissions for specific thread) doesn't work with attachments. If I set all manage options for author of specific topic, he can edit posts in that thread for unlimited amount of time, open/close thread and so on, but he is not able to use attachments for existing posts in this thread after period of time, which is set for all users in general (Message Posting and Editing Options -> Time Limit on Editing of Posts).

Please, is it possible to modify this that user would be able to use attachments indefinitely in whole thread, if he is able to edit its posts thanks to "Thread Admins"?

I am using vBulletin 4.2.1

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Is the problem that the attachments are disappearing if not used in a post or thread? :)

Matt

Existing attachments are fine, but if that user click in editor on button to manage attachments (icon in the top of editor or text button below), new window will appear with standard error message, that he doesn't have permission to access that page. So he is able to edit posts in that thread indefinitely, but he is not able to use/edit attachments in that thread indefinitely.

Thanks for explaining. :)

Just to double check, you've added permissions to Moderate Attachments for the specific thread in action?

If you want to PM me a test login account I can take a look and see what the situation is. :)

Matt

Yes, I checked all checkboxes for that user for that thread:

Edit Posts, Open/Close, Edit Threads, Manage Threads, Moderate Posts, Moderate Attachments, Edit Polls.

But "Moderate Attachments" is here only for moderation purpose, which is not in use in our forum, it is also in explanation of this checkbox:

"If attachment moderation is enabled in this moderator's forum, this permission will allow this moderator to approve attachments awaiting moderation."

I tried it with 2 different users just to be sure.

If I use "User Threads", which is based on whole sections and usergroups, then indefinitely managing of attachments is working fine. but not for "Thread Admins".

Thanks Charles_1 for confirming that. I'll have a look when I get a few spare mins to see what might be the issue. The tooltip you quoted is the default vB one, though what it applies to in Threadmins is that the Thread Admins have moderator permissions within that thread, meaning that they should be able to adjust and moderate the attachments of any post.

I'm not sure why it's misbehaving atm, will let you know what I find. :)
