When I attempt to download the archives, I keep getting:

FF|Skyrider, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

While all the usergroups I'm in have "download archives -> yes".. Any idea what's going on?

$1 says you have more then 1 usergroup. The lowest security setting generally takes precidence.... Check ALL the groups you have assigned to you.

Thanks for the reply but have you read my reply below the quote?

I just changed it to 1 usergroup only (the admin usergroup) and I still can't download the archive.

You just said did I read your reply, yet you clearly said you had more then 1 usergroup. I'm betting you didn't import the settings fully. Reinstall the product again to be sure.

*shrugs*, might as well do that, heh.. ALso, when I read the archive I get this error a lot:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 491520 bytes) in forum/httpdocs/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_formatting.php(438) : eval()'d code on line 92

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1966080 bytes) in forum/httpdocs/mgc_cb_evo.php(398) : eval()'d code on line 322

While I know increasing the memory would fix the issue (currently set to 32MB).. How much memory is the chat box taking to even read the chats? There's only 1007 chats in the archive in total.

Also...though I have the option checked to show users in chat on forum home...they do not appear.


Any help?

i had the same stupid error and changed the class_misc file from "membergroups" to "usergroups" everywhere that was written and it worked, the post that guy who made this said to change didn't work, it made it worse for me.

I have 2 questions/issues I'd like to take care of:

1) when a dialogue box pops up, the text is the same color as the box, making it next to impossible to read (dialogue box for instance when you slap someone and it asks you to click yes or no)

2) how do I add/eliminate color choices from the shoutbox? because my site is black/dark gray, and I don't want users using black/dark text on a dark background.

[SnapOff Racing]

Another question I have, is when you go to edit people's shouts...how can I go about hiding the [b][i][font] code that pops up around what people type. it's extremely annoying to edit people's shouts with that crap in the way. infernoshout wasn't like that, and I'm hoping someone can give me a workaround/setting change for it.
