Invalid Permission?

Lynne, I appreciate your response. I even after editing the config.php file, with the hooks disabled, I still have the invalid permissions problem.

It's also just been brought to my attention that users in a certain usergroup can't view my shoutbox either. The shoutbox I have installed doesn't even allow you to test permission for you can and cannot view it, so something's definitely messed up in the core of the permissions system.

From what I can tell, "$vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']" isn't being propagated with the correct information, which is why all of the permission checks are failing.

I'm thinking my best bet, to hopefully resolve all of these conflicts, will be just to back up my forum database, and reinstall the entire thing. It seems to be it was an upgrade failure from vb3.8.2 to vb4.1.3.

Thanks for your time.
