I'm pretty sure it's the opposite - a user has the most permissions of any of the usergroups he belongs to, so Yes overrides No and higher numbers override lower numbers, except where a 0 means "no limit" or something like that.

The experiment I wanted to try above was made to check if the problem was that $show[avatar] was false but everything else was OK. But if that's the case, then the only thing I can see that would cause that is the "Can Upload Custom Avatars" permission.
