I've installed this on 3.7 Gold...in the settings page the radio buttons do not remain checked...I hit the save button, and when it refreshes there are no groups chosen, so I logged out and logged in with a regular test account and I was able to post normally.

This is sweet! I force the new members to my community to make their first post as an introduction. Is there any way to force them to make their post in a specific forum?
