Princeton,

still no luck. I went through my usergroups and set everyone CAN READ to yes. the i set everyone to NO except admins and on special usergroup on forum permissions.

Now the admin can view everything but the other usergroups are still unable to view any of the forums, even the public forums.

i am using the special code to allow the person who posted the thread the ability to view their thread.

PHP Code:

// ================================================= \\
 // == [ ALLOW GROUP TO READ TITLE / NOT CONTENT - GTP BEGIN ]
 if (!($forumperms & GTCANREADCONTENT) AND ($thread['postuserid'] != $bbuserinfo['userid']))
 {
     eval(print_standard_error('gtp_cannot_read'));
 }
 // == [ 00-00-2004 - GTP END ]
 // ================================================= \\ 


I have also tested using this $thread['postuserid'] and this $threadinfo['postuserid']. still no luck.

Here is an example of how my Registered Usergroup Permissions look (Note Can read content is the new permission category):
Can Post Threads
Yes
Can Reply to Own Threads

Can Reply to Others' Threads

Can Edit Own Posts

Can Delete Own Posts
No
Can Move Own Threads
No
Can Open / Close Own Threads

And here is the permissions for a public forum for Registered Users

Yes
Can Reply to Own Threads
Yes
Can Reply to Others' Threads

Besides these 2 permission settings, are there others?

Thanks
Eric
