Smartys, I get how it works, I just don't think that the way it works is the best way for it to work. I'm using PunBB to help manage content for a record label. Each forum in PunBB is associated with an artist. I've made each Artist a moderator. Now here's where trouble steps in. There is a group called In Visible Silence, one of their members, Valtiel also does solo projects. In the way that you describe above, the groups would be bands/artists. I can assign everyone to be in a moderator group specific to their forum, but what about Valtiel. I can create a forum for him, but I have to either give the other members of In Visible Silence access to his forum, or put him in his own exclusive group. Not cool.

Using my idea, things would work a lot smoothly. I make every user that is an artist a moderator (or a special moderator group called "Artists"), then I can choose to associate the "Artist" group classification to specific bands or artists for each user. In this instance, rather than making Valtiel his own special Solo Artist + In Visible Silence group, he would simply be an artist within the context of Valtiel and In Visible Silence, but not in the context of Seeking Pandora (another group on our label).

Smartys, finally an acceptable answer.

But why not make it toggleable? Doesn't seem like it would be too hard to do that. One setting for people without a lot of space to store the data that would post-parse, one setting for people that want faster performance that would pre-parse.

Not to mention the fact that if you have smileys disabled, there's really no argument there at all. :-)

Yeah, I just saw that Smartys.

Anyone who removes the copyright sucks. <--- My Oppinion.

Christ. The guy did a LOT of great work. He's distributing it for free. Now they want to strip the man of his props? That's ho. :-)

Thanks guys. I actually like the code from the punbb news mod a bit better because it uses only a single query. I appreciate the help from both of you.

Alright, I cleared all private data in Firefox. I logged in. Clicked the logout button, and it worked. Then I logged in again, clicked on a link to a forum, then clicked the logout button, and it didn't work.

There isn't a limited number of login/logouts in a given time period, is there?

Is my path correct?

Rickard, Smartys, I went into the firefox preferences menu, selected view cookies, and deleted every cooke for my site one by one.

At present, the only cookie for punbb is as follows:

Name: punbb_cookie
Content:
Domain: .dreamsfade.com
Path: /
Send For: Any Type of Connection
Expires: At end of Session

Okay, I've tried the following, all with failure (deleting my cookies after each attempt):

Login at http://dreamsfade.com/board, logout immediately after login. Failed
Login at http://www.dreamsfade.com/board, logout immediately after login. Failed
Login at http://www.dreamsfade.com/board, navigate to http://dreamsfade.com/board/index.php immediately after login, logout. Failed.
Login at http://dreamsfade.com/board, navigate to http://www.dreamsfade.com/board/index.php immediately after login, logout. Failed.

Here is all of my pertinent information.
$cookie_name = 'punbb_cookie';
$cookie_domain = '.dreamsfade.com';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;
$cookie_seed = '912941e0';

Absolute URL to Board: http://dreamsfade.com/board

Base URL from the Admin->Options page: http://dreamsfade.com/board

Subdomain:
http://board.dreamsfade.com redirects to http://dreamsfade.com/board/
http://www.board.dreamsfade.com redirects to http://dreamsfade.com/board/ (not explicitly set, just seems to work that way.)

Redirects:
http://dreamsfade.com redirects to http://dreamsfade.com/board
http://www.dreamsfade.com redirects to http://www.dreamsfade.com/board (can't find how to change this)

The cookie seems to be the same regardless of whether I login from http://www.dreamsfade.com/board or http://dreamsfade.com/board.

If I've missed any pertinent information, please let me know.

Thanks for your help guys. This is driving me crazy.

I can't imagine you'll get a lot of help with that here. These are people that USE PunBB, so they would most likely know of ways to migrate to PunBB. I can't imagine that anyone who has stopped using PunBB has stuck around in case anyone else should need help switching.
