I have a public usergroup, I think by default it has to have a mod/admin accept each person trying to join that public usergroup, is there a way to have them auto accepted into the usergroup as a secondary usergroup?

Thanks for the info!

If you don't set up a moderator to approve them, then they are automatically approved.

Where would one set up a moderator to approve them? I just want to make sure I haven't done anything like that yet? I don't think I did, but I want to be sure?

After you set it as a publicly joinable group in the admincp, on the bottom of the usergroup manager page, it will be listed under the heading of "Public (Joinable) Custom Usergroups". Then you will have a dropdown next to it to be able to add Usergroup Leaders.

To test things like that, you need to have a testuser with standard permissions. Log in as that user, and you can just join that usergroup yourself and see how it works out.

I always like to have one browser (Chrome) logged in as an admin, and then another browser (Firefox) logged in as a regular user and that way I can see what is going on when the admin changes things.

My forums aren't live to the public yet, and don't want to registrar anyone just yet... trying to keep the other admins/mods that i know of users 2 3 4 ect.

maybe i am a bit OCD?

But thanks for the info.

A bit, maybe

You really need a test user (or even more than one) to make sure you have permissons set correctly and get a feel for the user experience.

The userid is not important, you'll hardly ever see it on the forum, and most users don't even notice there is such a thing. If it is really that important to you, create a test user now, and rename them later for one of your mods, change the e-mail-adress and let the mod choose a new passoword via the forgot password functionality.
