I've created a brand new forum and have registered users to join. In testing each of the accounts (including admin) I consistently receive an error message when I try to hit the logout button. The message I am receiving is "Your user permissions do not allow you to perform the action you are attempting" This message does not appear every time I log out but at least 70% of the time, from various user logins. Anyone know why this would be going on?

I know why this would happen and it is a bug, so if it happens please record the page you were on prior to the logout and post it on the forum.
The bug itself occurs if a user is inside a restricted area, lets say a forum only certain users have access to. When a person logs out the logout process tries to return the user to the page they were on previously, however since they are now anonymous they have no access to see that page. Therefor, the user gets the permission error you are seeing.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

I have seen CVS mentioned in some of the other posts on this forum and have gathered that it is a way to upgrade to the latest version of the script. The server hosting our script is remote and I only have FTP access, can I still perform these updates? Is it possible for me to obtain the updated code from you all via http download or ftp? I'm not at all familiar with CVS and how it works.
In response to the logout errors, it normally happens when I am viewing the threads for a particular forum. On our board, all categories are private and each requires a separate login. From your description of restricted areas, this is why I'm getting the errors...as people logout, they are anonymous and no longer have access rights. What about e-mail notifications of replies? In my tests I have tried following the links in the e-mail message sent out for a reply posted to my topic, but it also gives me the same permissions error as when I log out.
5 minutes later...
Ok I think I've answered part of my own question. The e-mail notification of a reply to a post works if I set the anonymous user permission for that board to read but not view. Correct me if I'm wrong but this setting will still maintain the security of the board from outside users but allow the e-mail links to secured forum reply notifications to work. Sound right?

By removing the VIEW permission the forum will not longer be visible on the front page, so normally unless a person is given a URL to that forum or messages inside that forum they would not see it.
In order to use the CVS release you need to have access to a php binary you can run from a console, given that you only have ftp access you cannot do it on your server. However, you can download a php binary to your own computer, build the upgrade script and then use that to upgrade your forum.
