default_forumid = SOTB Club Scrap
default_forumid defines the default forum for the forum-based access permissions system. If set, access to new categories/entries is by default only available to usergroups with can view forum and can view others threads access rights to that forum
Currently no categories/entries are using the forum-based access permissions system

I am only able to turn access on to every registered user or none at all. It won't recognize the permissions set in vbulletin for the paid subscribers...

Thanks in advance,

Did you set default_forumid *after* creating the entries and categories? Entry and category associated forums are set at the moment you create the entry/category, and do not get changed automatically when you modify default_forumid.

The easiest way to update the forum associations is on the LDM->admin->mass edits page. Select the categories you want to update, select the Parent Forum button, choose the SOTB Club Scrap forum and check the "Also make this forum the parent of all entries currently in the category" box, and submit the form.

Sorry if this is confusing. I am happy to take a look at your site if you want (PM me details, including a username/password with admin rights)
