Just tried it now.. It won't save the settings.. each time I go back the No is checked for any user group.

Using 4.0.7

Possible query or a way to set the default to no on forum permissions. I only want to allow a couple of forums and have way to many usergroups/forums.

Please download zip file again.
I changed to the last 32-bit field.
Should not have any problem or conflict with others add-ons or official updates.

Note: you can use "Permission Duplication Tools" and "Quick Forum Permission Setup" to mass enable or disable.
