Topic: Strange behaviour with user groups

Hi there,
I just happened to have some strange encounter and just wanted to check if anyone ever experienced that.
I run a punbb 1.2.12 and one special forum was only viewable by Administrators, yet yesterday it could be seen by anybody.
Of course I can't tell if one of the 3 people with admin status made a mistake, but I have no means to see that - or did I miss a log function?

All checkboxes under admin_forums.php?edit_forum=XX were ticked - anybody ever experienced something like that or are you sure one of the admins is to blame?

One of the admins is to blame, settings don't just change like that

You can use the admin logs mod if you are concerned about things like this happening in the future.

Looking for a certain modification for your forum? Please take a look here before posting.

not from itself, but this would be a pefect example for an admin exploit.

thanks for the hint on the mod, I'll try that smile

Re: Strange behaviour with user groups

This happened to my forum, and I am the only admin, so I just closed the whole forum...
