THANK YOU Kirby!!

Downloaded and going to test now...

Loaded flawlessly and is working like a champ. No messy error messages -- the permissions are controlling what options they even see.

Have I told you lately that I love you?

Yes. They work (at least they should) exactly the same way as they do for normal Moderators.

I've been saying that we need a feature like this since the first Beta of vB 3.0 - Hope this makes it into 3.5 as an actual feature

I got an error but I suspect it has more to do with MY MySQL version or my phpmyadmin and not the modification itself. I'm using (only because I have no choice), MySQL version is 4.0.24 and phpmyadmin is 2.6.2-rc1. Liz

This has nothing to do with your mySQL Version (it even works with mySQL 3.23), you just did not install it correctly.
Carefully (!) check the installation instructions again, especially Step 1.

Kirby, I've NEVER run a query before...HELP???? Please. Liz

I'm in phpmyadmin cause that's where I have to run it but I don't know how. I've never done it before. And my host isn't online yet.

Thank you for the link.. Liz
