It was beginning to frustrate me that the 'Edit Access Masks' page displayed the forums simply in the order they'd been created. I had several sub-forums on my board that were named the same thing (eg, 'General Info', or 'Public Access'), and I could no longer tell them apart.
What I wanted was a way to display the forum list in the Edit Access Mask page in the same format (heirarchical) as it is displayed in the forum permissions or modify forums pages.
So here's the result of that effort. Note, this is *very* simple hack. It only took about a 1/2 hour to code, but I like it so much better now.
v 1.2 changes:
Fixed that all masks were coming up with 'default' checked instead of the user's setting
v 1.1 changes:
Added support for alternating rows of colors
Took instructions out of forum post and updated instructions in text file
Updated screenshot to show alternating colors
Instructions attached include both upgrade as well as fresh installation instructions.
As always, have fun, and let me know if encounter any problems!

I just did the upgrade and the picture below is after the upgrade. Pictured is what I meant about the subforums being over too far. The colors look good now. I read the file and noticed what you said about the colors not alternating on every line. It actually makes more sense this way now.

Yup, I tried it myself and saw precisely that. THe other thing I tried was adding in up to the maximum number of layers and watched how it changed. WHen I had the max, it was all spaced exactly right. I think its just an issue with the browser parser dealing with the colspan. I'll look into some other alternatives though.
I found a bug, looking into it now. Basically, the access masks will always come up with all the 'default' radio buttons checked off. Looking into what I messed up now. I'll update as soon as I've got a fix.
I'm sorry. I should have posted as well instead of just updating the first post and such.
As of 1.2, the problem with it just showing the defaults for everything .... instead of the existing permissions, is now fixed. One line change. The instructions contain instructions for upgrading as well.
