LOL, As far as I know I am installing it correctly.

If Im not installing it correctly then I dont know what the heck I would be doing wrong as the install seems pretty straight forward and selfexplanatory to me.

I don't know either what you are doing wrong. Only thing I can say is: If the permissions does not show up, then you did smth. wrong.
Most likely it's a problem with the bitfield XML.

Is there a way to make a forum ignored for ALL users?

Question:

Is it possible to set certain forums to DEFAULT as opted-out (excluded), but have it so enabled usergroup still has option to opt-IN that forum/s??

I want my RSS news forums opted-out/excluded BY DEFAULT... but be ABLE to have users still be able to ADD/OPT-IN if they want to.
(Right now, as far as I can tell, its only possible to do the reverse, is that correct?)

I'm interested in the same thing -- or even to exlude forums WITHOUT the user option of turning them back on.

This was answered already; start at post #120 and read down. You can set certain forums to "default" in the opted-out state, and users can toggle them back on at their discretion.
