Okay I set up in the Admin CP separate groups for users who achieve 500+ posts. So when a "member" reaches 500 posts they are promoted to "Super member". I also adjusted the permission masks for these people so they could see a hidden forum just for the elites. I managed the forum as well to make sure it was active and edited it so that it appears that the members can see the forum if they have the correct number and above of posts. Basically I edited permission masks for the new groups for all the forums so they could read, edit, and reply to the secret one. It still won't automatically show the 500+ members the secret forum though; I have to add it manually and keep looking at the online list. The member group changes correctly but the secret forum is still invisible. Am I missing something? The board link is under my name if you need to take a look.

The fact the usergroup changes but the permission mask doesn't is unusual. You mentioned you have to add it "manually". What did you mean by this? Do you edit their accounts, and set the permission mask to override? Jonathan |

It might seem daft, but have you set the user group to use the secret forums permission mask correctly? It might be worthwhile double checking each step one at a time, as I assume your other masks work as they should? |
