[periphrastic]

thank you paul m for helping

and, yes i am certain (a) permissions are correct and (b) threads have not been moved. i specifically double-checked the permissions settings to make certain the error wasn't on my end

when i log on as a "registered user" using a dummy account, i cannot see the mod lounge at all. these users who are shown as having read the mod lounge threads are in the "registered users" primary usergroup. this makes so little sense to me. i'd agree with you in that, if they're not reading the threads, their names, ideally, should not show up as having read them. i'm just having trouble reconciling the fact they have no access to the mod lounge (as proven by the permission settings / dummy account test) with the fact that their names are showing up as having read threads in the mod lounge. this mod seems as impeccable as impeccable can get, but i'm concerned because now i don't know if there's some issue on the permissions end, somehow, or if there's some issue on this mod's end.
