Try checking your init.php edits. I think I had this same issue once before because one of the permission numbers was missing the last number of the variable or something. I fixed this and it worked just fine(I believe each permission variable should double in numerical value for the next one --- if you know what I am referring to). This is the step I messed up on:
Code:
3b. In INCLUDES/INIT.PHP:
Find:
#######################
'caneditownusernotes' => 131072
#######################
REPLACE with:
#######################
'caneditownusernotes' => 131072,
// START VBGARAGE HACK
'canvbgarage' => 262144
// END VBGARAGE HACK
I believe I left out the last "4" in the 'canvbgarage' permission setting. Hope this helps!
