HELP! Mods with less persmissions than Users
 

One of my mods just asked me how to edit their own posts. Well, long story short, my mods do NOT have the "Edit Post" option enabled on their posts. I checked the user group permissions and "edit own posts" is enabled. Can't figure this out!!! HELP!

Check Forums & Moderators > forum Permissions and see if the permissions in that forum have been edited. And, are they in the Moderator Usergroup (that is an option when making a user a moderator)?

Ok... maybe it is my own newbieness (if that is a word). I have 3 people in the moderator usergroup. Do I need to specifically assign them to forums? Or wouldn't they be moderators globally?

You need to specifically assign them to forums via Forum Manager > very right hand column > Assign Moderator. If you want them to be Global/Super Moderators (moderators of ALL forums), then you would just put the in the Super Moderator group and you do not need to assign them to a forum.

Thanks, Lynne! Didn't know that. here... I had moderators for the last month... and they couldn't do anything anyway. No wonder why I had one that would just do the "report post".
