Hello all, I created a new sub forum the other day and made a member a mod of that forum, the sort of thing I have done countless times with no issues etc.
Well ever since I made this member a mod every new member I get have the mode status and are mod of the new forum Shocked

What could have went wrong? some kind of bug ?
Thanks for any help.
cheers

how did you give them moderator? by group or user? Have you double checked the permissions for the forum? go to Permissions "advanced mode" and make sure all is ok, also double check the group permission if you used one. Sounds to me like a misconfiguration of the forum permissions rather than a bug, but check it out.

HI , I give permissions as a single user and went to the User Admin and clicked on the Permissons link and put his username in... I then click the look up user and added the mod status to that individual forum.
This is something I have done countless times before.
I`ll try the permissions then advance mode.

Very strange I checked everything and the members shows he is not part of a group and only has the permissions for that forum...which is fine, i decided to register under a different name and entered the forums and posted.... it showed I was now the moderator of the forum, well it showed the rank I made that the mod uses?????
Totally lost
