The vbulletin admin panel needs to be done with check boxes not a scroll list. We have around 30 usergroups and this is a huge pain to scroll through this little box.

Import attached file and that should fix the problem

I've tried to make it as simple and easy to use as possible

is it possible to make an option to upload attachments in a form?

Found possible error.

When i set the permissions in the "Easy Form Options" It still wont let the user groups view the form. The permission for the Form list seems to work correctly but to view the actual form doesnt.

So far only Administrators can view the form.
