I agree

In addition, is it deliberate that admins don't override the permission-to-view settings on private groups they're not a member of? My server host has a very, very strict no-porn rule which could have my entire server shut down if it's violated. That means I need to be able to deal with instances where people post porn, which can't happen if I can't see the group!

For those interested, I've worked out a simple way to handle the default group image problme. All you need to do is remove the group image display from the template completely. The group leader can then simply insert an image (or images) in the group description box using BB Code as normal.

In the template group_display_main, remove the reference to the group display picture. I must apologise, but I removed the line without making a note of what it was, so I can't recall what it said exactly, but looking at the template it's fairly easy to spot which it is.

For even better results, add a couple of Custom BB tags which allow posters to align pictures left and right in a post with text wrapping. Most boards use these tags anyway.

How do I add to "My groups" for each user like it is in the UserCP to the Grouphome index page?

Thank you,

I haven't tried it, but have you tried just pasting in the bit in the install instructions for the UserCP into the Groups template?

Another bug - attempting to delete a category results in the following message:

Code:
$grps_mygroupsbits

I tried that, but nothing showed up... Any other ideas? And thank you for this one...

Sorry - it was just a guess on my part. I'm interested in the answer, too, though.

I would also like the groups to show up under the Public Groups section of the profile. I know they aren't actually usergroups, but from the user's point of view, having them there is intuitive. And it would look good.

Yes anpther bug - total posts does not calculate correctly when viewing a single thread within a group; it merely shows the total posts in that thread, not total posts in that group.

If that's the intention, fine; but since the rest of that info box clearly refers to the whole group and not that single thread, it's very counter-intuitive. Nobody will ever guess that's what it's supposed to mean withut something explicitly telling them so.

And yet more bugs! :)

1) Can't edit a post.

2) When posting two posts back to back, the second post gets added to the bottom of the first post.

3) When you select "Go advanced" to get the advanced options, it deletes the text that has already been typed into the QR box.

Well, that's 11 bugs in total from me - I tihnk I'd better stop spotting them! :)
