| Hey Folks, take a look at the UserGroups Manager in Admin Options and let me know your interpretation of the two dropdown boxes and their values. I just want to make sure the are self-explanatory. |

| The drop-down boxes make perfect sense to me. I am missing a couple things though -- how does a moderator add users to a usergroup (assuming that option is turned on)? And how do usergroup members view usergroup "information"? I'm sure I'm just missing it, but I can't find either of those options. The new features look great in admin options. Now if I could only find them... TIA |

I haven't coded those parts yet. |

Oh, okay. No problem! I was just sure I was missing the obvious!  I'll look forward to the new features. This mod is looking great. Thanks! |

| still working on the viewing and editing by moderators part, but I added some choices to the drop downs on the UserGroups Manager. Do you all think that all those choices are necessary? |

I do. I like it VERY much!
I have a question that coincides with the moderator option.
Is there a way that instead of giving all Moderators this power, that I can give only a select few or just one Moderator this power? Perhaps something like the option we have for the Allowed Members List (for example) in the edit forum properties area? Something like a box on the left shows all the moderators and you can select which ones you want to have this power and move them to the box on the right?
This way if the admin is on vacation or such there isn't a paperless trail of why certain people on probation are no longer on probation and why some new people have access to usergroups that they didn't have before. I think this because admittedly some moderators are humble while others if given too much power can be loose canons and try to set things up in such a way that hurts more than it helps.
Also, are you making this to where the moderators are unable to include or exclude the admin concerning usergroups? I figure you are, just had to know though.
Thank you for asking!
This is fun.

| Well, I'm rethinking of how Moderators can edit usergroup membership. Essentially Moderators will not be able to change an admin or another moderator's groups, but beyond that I'm not positive yet what I'll do. I'm thinking that maybe I'll just let it be only for Admins for the time being and then on a future release of the mod, I'll have the ability to have special groups (like Moderator group, Admin group, UserGroup Manager group, etc.) |

I'm sure you are dizzy by now with all these access levels and who does what to what and what does what to who, etc. 
Leaving it for a future release is understandable.

If/when you do the moderator thing, I'd do just what you suggested above. All moderators having the ability to add/remove users from groups would work fine for my needs. No special things as far as moderation that I can think of.

You have a right! This "lite" version sure has sure become complicated and feature-rich! I can understand discombobulated. Thanks though for tailoring this to everyones requests! |

| take a look now at the configuration options and the usergroup options and tell me what you think. what is necessary, what is not, what makes no sense at all etc. hopefully, if all goes well, i'll finish the code for these last few options (maybe not subscriptions) by the end of the weekend and have a mod package out. |
