[Design Issue] Forum Leaders Permissions

[Cary]

Hi,

In "Forum Leaders" ( http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showgroups.php?s= )
"vBulletin Community Forum Moderators" beside Stallions name you can see a private(?) forum. (vBulletin 2.0 Beta testers)

I'm not sure if permissions are set up right in showgroups.php ;)
This isn't a problem effecting me... I'm just trying to help squash those bugs. (if this is one :) )

that forum should only be viewable for mods and admins on this forum.

[Cary]

So should it be listed on that page for everybody to see?

geez, i have deleted my cookies and turned off the "auto login" option and i still can't logout so i can't confirm this.

*moves to bugs forum for confirmation*

This is a very old, well known Bug, which will be fixed in vB3

If you "Moderating and Adminstring Duties" forum is inheriting it's permissions from a parent forum, than it will show up on the list due to a known bug.

No the bug isn't going to be fixed in v2.x due to the complexity of it. It has already been taken care of in v3.0

The suggested fix is to set permissions directly for those forums and not to allow them to inherit permissions. That will resolve your problem.

ah... thanks Mystics. :D I did a search for this before I posted, but I didn't find any information on it. ;)

You need to manually delete your cookies. I can only tell you how to do it in IE 6.0:

Tools -> Internet Options -> Temporary Internet Files -> Settings -> View Files

Then search for the individual cookies for your domain and delete them all. The name should be in the form of:

Cookie:username@yoursite.com
and
Cookie:username@www.yoursite.com

...and any derivatives of the above. Then highlight the individual cookies and delete each one they find. After this, close all browser windows and restart IE.
