I've got it set up on a test forum, but for some reason the new usergroups aren't being given permission to even view the new forum.
So user 11 'Dotty' (name changed to protect the innocent) is in a usergroup allowed to create. She makes one, and both the 'Dottyhideaway' group and the 'Dotty's Hideaway Forum' are both successfully created. People can apply to Dotty's group, she can add people. But no one can see or access the forum, even with a direct link (except me, the administrator). When I go in to 'Edit Forum Permissions For Usergroup: Dottyhideaway in Forum Dotty's Hideaway Forum', it's set to all no straight down through the options.
Clearly I've done something wrong along the way if no one else has run into it, but after looking around with some help for a while at the hideaway.php code (stock from the download with the modifications directed in this thread), I'm not seeing where the problem is.
Thanks in advance, and great extensions, Amy. I've flagged a few of yours as features I'd like to go live with on my production site.
