Closed Board - Mod & Admin Access

My board is currently closed when while I hack up 2.2.7 and finish off the new style for it, by default only admins can access a closed board, but I want a supermod to as well, I changed:

PHP Code:

// check that board is active - if not admin, then display error
if (!$bbactive) {
  if (!$permissions['cancontrolpanel']) {
    eval("standarderror(\"".str_replace("\'", "'", addslashes($bbclosedreason))."\");");
    exit;
  }
} 


in global.php to:

PHP Code:

// check that board is active - if not admin, then display error
if (!$bbactive) {
  if ((!$permissions['cancontrolpanel']) or (!$permissions['ismoderator'])) {
    eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("classic_bbclosed")."\");");
    exit;
  }
} 


classic_bbclosed is a template with the entire page to be displayed instead of the standard error, now this worked for a few days then suddenly stoped, I didn't do anything to change it and have tried every way I can think of. ismoderator is set to 1 for the usergroup (the default sup mod group).

Any ideas?

You have no idea how many times I've done that myself
