Limits on Permission Masks?

I was wondering if there is a limit to how many permission masks can view a forum. I am a global moderator on a forum with approximately 85 separate permission masks, some members have complained that they can no longer see some "public" forums (forums that almost all members can see except for a few permission masks). is this because there is some kind of limit on how many masks can see the forum at one time?

I offered to help the administrators and was given a help mask with admin abilities. i noticed on the forum permissions page that every time i checked the the box to give that mask permission on the forum and submitted the page, when it reloaded the boxes were once again unchecked, it just would not allow me to add more masks to read, reply, start and upload permission of the forum. we created a temporary fix by giving global permission to those public forums, but now guests and probably banned members can create topics and reply in places we would not like them too.

from my knowledge we have never had this problem before, it only occurred after we had a forum re-order a few weeks ago.

permission maskes are linked directly to groups or select members.

I dont think IF set a limit on that however its possible.
One thing you can do is look at your permission masks and look to see if some of them arent being used.
If they arent why have them?
do you have several groups that have the same type of permisson mask? if you do than you can have multiple groups on 1 permission mask.
