I saw the previous permissions I had set manually, global_anon all permissions OFF, global_reg_users view/read/post/ etc
So the major thing was that global_anon perms were all OFF.
How is it handled when one group controls the resources of another using global-anon and global-reg-users masks, AND then the admin manually makes changes to the user permissions of the controlled forum?? Which set of user permissions takes precidence? At the moment, it looks like manually changed user permissions on a forum override permissions set by a controlling group. If so, then I have no idea how to 'reset' my forums' permissions so that the controlling groups will set user permissions correctly.
Also, can I upgrade straight from 2.3.5 to 2.5.1, or do I need to upgrade to 2.3.8 or 2.3.9r2 or so first?
I've added a new table in my fud_ database, and several new fields to the fud_users table. I modified the /sq/mysql/fud_users.tbl file and created another .tbl file for the new table. Is that enough to have the new table and additional fields come through the upgrade ok?
I am expecting that I'll have to recreate my custom theme, and I know I'll have to recode all the code changes I made to my forum's FUD source and admin modules that handle my rank_point changes.
