That worked. My hoster uses a 20 second mysql timeout.
I just adusted the value for the mix. and max. responsetime ad that did the trick.

Thank`s 4 support !
This usergroup rocks...( well, it depends on the point of view ;) )

I just installed it. It does what it's supposed to do however when users do get through to the forums they see everything that is normally hidden to them (i.e. hidden Admin and Mod forums, etc.) and they can even post in such forums.

I checked all the permissions and can't see anything that doesn't look right. What am I missing?

Thanks.

Set the forum permissions for that usergroup properly.

You mean the forum permissions for the Miserable Users usergroup? Yeah, I did that. I have everything set to No except for Can View Forum, Can View Thread Content, Can View Others' Threads, Can Search Forums, Can Post Threads, Can Reply to Own Threads, Can Reply to Others' Threads, Can Rate Threads, Can View Who's Online, Can View Others' Profile Pictures, Can Use Reputation, Viewable on the Memberlist, and This Usergroup is not a 'Banned' Group. Everything else is set to No.

Is there something else that I am missing somewhere?

Thanks.

Those are not the detailed forum/usergroup permissions.

ACP > Forums & Moderators > Forum Permissions

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood.

Anyway, those were all set to No by default to begin with. I just checked and verified that they are still all set to No.

I had this installed and had the same issues- load increased - as well as database errors I was getting- when I added more than 1 person it ballooned... removed it and load issues and errors cut dramatically... good idea but can't see using it again.

This cannot cause database errors, it doesnt even access the database.

For that matter it cannot cause big load issues either, its little more than 30 lines of basic php - if that cause you problems then you have a major server issue. :)

+1!

Have a member or 2 in mind for this:D
