I run a fudforum where the users either are or are not paid-up members of the organisation running the forum. We'd like to recognise the paid-up status of the paid-up members by giving them extra privileges. I though allocating the paid-up members to a 'paidup' group would be the way forward, and it is to some extent, but I wonder whether/how this can be taken further.
For example, with groups I could give search permission to paidups but not to others.
But a lot of settings, for example enabling rights to use avatars, email notifications, and similar, seem not to apply to groups but are global, so I can't give 'favours' of these kinds to paidups without also giving them to others (or am I overlooking something?)
Thanks

Can you give me an idea where I should be looking and I'll see how it looks?
Thanks

Four edits later... groupmgr.php.t, groups.inc.t, groupmgr.tmpl and msg 
That puts an entry in groups manager for avatar, but of course (?) enabling it has no effect if avatars disabled in admin control panel, and if I enable avatars in admin control panel then they appear to be enabled for everyone regardless of whether my new option is enabled or disabled.
Is it simply a matter of setting the correct opt value in group_perm_array in groups.inc.t (I tried 4194304), or (more likely) am I going to have to hack some code somewhere else - since what I seem to be trying to do here is to override a global setting usually set in admin control panel?
Thanks
