    [Forum] usergroups custrom usergroups issue

    Since upgrade to 4.0.2

    We now have a huge set of custom usergroups.

    In fact I noted anytime we made changes to a usergroup such as Admin it created a new custom user group. Called Admin

    to the point there were 5 usergroups in custom usergroups called admin !

    All we wanted to do, was change htnl markup colour for user title, from orange to gray

    Any suggestions as to what to do ?
    Because the forums have usergroup id restrictions etc, soon as we save usergroup id:6 , Username HTML Markup

    from : <span style="font-weight: bold;color: orange;"> </span>
    to: <span style="font-weight: bold;color: gray;"> </span>

    it updates this as a new custom usergroup, with id:26 for example and doesnt update usergroup id:6

    This is frustrating, as I am not about to go thru forums and change user ids, to match this, plus each time we update a usergroup it will create a whole new set of usergroups.

    Must be a solution.

    Have you tried the suggestion regarding suhosin? Edit the php.ini (requires root access to the server) or by via a .htaccess file with the following contents:

    php_flag suhosin.cookie.encrypt Off
    php_value suhosin.request.max_vars 2048
    php_value suhosin.post.max_vars 2048

    You can create your own .htaccess file and upload it to your main forum directory. It's a simple text file.

    If this doesn't work or you get an 'Internal Server Error' after doing this, then unfortunately this means that your host is not allowing this change. The only thing you can do now is to ask your host to make the necessary changes to suhosin.

    Here is a post that lists some of the recommended suhosin settings for compatibility with vB:

    Vote for:

    - Admin Settable Paid Subscription Reminder Timeframe (vB6)
    - Add Admin ability to auto-subscribe users to specific channel(s) (vB6)

      Thanks for the reply Trevor.

      However, this is our scenario.

      3 days ago, we ported to a new domain, on the same server.
      All db are localhost so nothing was altered.
      Config files updated.
      Suhosin was adapted for the old domain , so am I right in thinking we could check out suhosin on old domain, and transfer its setting for suhosin over to new domains php.ini
      Htaccess version didnt work, giving 500 int serv errer
