Okay, I see..so this way all the old members will automatically be promoted.

Let me ask though, how come you can't just set up a new user group and make that one the one with the revised permission and then have people promoted FROM that one to the existing Registered members group?

So in the Promotions Screen, the very top "UserGroup" setting, there's where I put the existing Registered Users" group with the modified permissions, then I select "Greater Than Or Equal To" then I delete the reputation since I don't use that and put 20 and 20 in the registration and posts fields. Then I select "Reputation And Or Posts/Date" and then select PRIMARY USERGEROUP and then in the Move To UserGroup Field that's where I put the new group I made for all my registered members to go to with all the regular permissions.

Is that about right?

THANK YOU AGAIN VERY, VERY, VERY MUCH...I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!
