Hi,

Can someone please give me an explanation on what the number representing the users permissions for each forum represents? I can view the array containing the permissions for each forum but I have no idea what each number represents.

I'm pretty sure that 1048575 is full administration priveledges, 655363 is guest priveledges, 1044991 is registered users permissions etc.

Basically I just want to write a script to show the latest threads from the forum providing the user logged in has view permissions on that forum.

vBulletin uses Bits for its permission system, and bit testing to test whether a user has certain permissions.

I believe there is a modification that already does what you are looking for:

If you take a look at vBulletin's default code or the hack mentioned above, you can see conditional that test permissions.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
