I've always missed a feature in vBB: a script that gives me a list of all the users with their access mask set to YES for a given forum.

This would be REALLY helpful and useful, especially since it's very easy to lose tracks of the ppl authorized thru ACCESS MASKS for a given private forum.

I always have to do a reset thru a mysql query now and then, so i "start fresh" and am sure no "old staff members" are still allowed in.

This is something which is really easy to code (a php just looking up which users have access mask set to YES for that forum) and would be REALLY useful ^_^

Even an external php would do the trick, any1 out there, dev or hacker? ;)

I took that hack, and hacked it a bit more, so I can also give moderators the chance to list users by access masks for the forum they moderate (i was thinking of adding a new privilege too, but it was too much, i think every mod should be able to see who has access to his own forums ;) ).

Still, i'd like to see that included in 2.2.2 :D

And, do u think it could be of some interest, releasing this very small hack i did for myself? ;)

There will almost assuredly be no more features added to the 2.x line. The developers are busily working on v3 and will be only be fixing bugs with the 2.x line.
