I did some housekeeping yesterday, setting registered users as the default and then having other groups inherit those positions, with modification for each group. The problem is that when I finished, my registered users lost their ability to edit their own posts, even though I enabled this in...

Just had him do an upgrade for me to 1.5.1 and a new skin. As always, fast and superior results. I can't say enough good things about Oman. He's a rockstar.

The system had too many visitors and crashed. In the meantime, I found the problem. When I went back in and re-set permissions, I added them to the registered users group. Big mistake. The limitations of registered users trumped the more powerful moderator permissions.

I had a DB issue and when everything was back and running, my moderators had lost all of their privileges. I went back and restored them individually, as well as as a group. Nothing seems to work. Suggestions?

After I ran the upgrade for 1.4.5, I can't see any of my avatars nor am I able to upload new ones. I've gone through the normal process for adding an avatar and I get the message telling me that it uploaded successfully, but the new avatar doesn't show afterward. Ron...

They were missing when I opened it.

Thanks. That was clearly the problem. I now have another, but I've started a separate thread for it. Thanks again for helping me discover the issue.

I've done something to config.php that has shut down my board. I needed to set myself as a super admin, so I went into config.php (using Notepad) and found: <?php $config['db']['host'] = 'localhost'; $config['db']['port'] = '3306'; $config['db']['username'] = ''; $config['db']['password'] =...
