I am having the same problem, but my primary usergroup is 6! Is there something I can do to fix this? Maybe edit the default questions in the xml file until the new version is released?

i was getting this too and my Admin is 6.

try enabling all the settings in vB Options / Cyb - Advanced Registration

click Save

now try the Random Questions Setup link.

worked for me.

you can disable some of the settings afterwards.

product tested and working fine.

as with a few other members i've read in this thread, having Moderators the ability to access too would be invaluable.

usually this option to add other usergroups is often used in other hacks i've seen but for some reason you chose to not do this.

Please have this choice of Moderators at least in addition to Usergroup 6......... there must be a way to add Usergroup 7 Moderators to it.

Hi,

Is it possible to put the activation code shown under the navbar for every member, then he can give it to other guest without passing by email !!!

i already seen this in other forums.
