Hi,
I have searched for an answer but haven't spotted one.
I have a fairly big forum at www.calis-beach.co.uk/forum where some sections are allowed members only.
Everything has worked well for a few years but recently the one with the most allowed members ("Adult Jokes" sadly, way off the subject of the forum itself) has stopped allowing me to add new allowed members.
If I add a member to the allowed list, they appear in the right hand column, I click to make the change and get an 'update succesful' message.
Then I go back in and the member is back in the left hand column list.
This is not the case on all my other allowed members only forums, they work fine.
This forum must have 100 allowed members - could it be that there is a maximum allowed?
I initially thought it might be my own PC settings as I bought a new laptop and wondered if I had something set wrong, but as I have said it works fine with other similar forums with less allowed members.
I have also tried to add members on a number of other PC's with same results.
Any clues would get the membership off my back!
Many thanks
Keith

| ok, the limit of 500 is in the selectbox.js file, but it is only a limit when moving the WHOLE list from one listbox to the other, it is not a limit on how many are allowed, nor is it used when only selecting a few names to move. |

| Any solution to this? I am also facing the same problem. Have hit about 500 in a members only list. The forum is in Allowed members & hidden mode. Can't move any more members over to the allowed list now!!! Help!!!! Is there a bug? |

| You could try the UserGroups Mod. Set the forum to allow members of that UserGroup, then just add members to the group as they are given access to the forum. It would also prove a handy asset for a lot of other uses, too. |

Well, I am really stuck. I run a medical forum and want the doctors section to be Allowed Members List only (and hidden). We have been manually selecting members and shifting them to the Allowed list for the Forum configuration.
However after about 500 members, shifting them this way does not work. The username still remains in the left hand column (although the "Update is successful" message appears). It seems I have the same problem as Scunner.
If there is no limit to the Allowed Members list for the forum, when why should this be so?
I am using an Access database. Snitz 3.405 with Avatar Mod.

Would appreciate help and advice on the next move. Thanks. |

| I have tried changing the 500 in selectbox.js to 1000 fwiw, but the problem persists. We have been shifting the users only one at a time anyway. No problem until recently.... |

| because the code is javascript it is more than likely cached by your browser so changing the value may not have any effect. once you have changed the value from 500-1000 you should use ctrl+refresh to force the page to reload the javascript file, if the problem still persists then there is nothing you can do since it must be an inbuilt limitation rather than a code limitation |

No luck 
I wonder if the values for the member_id and forum_id are manually added to the forum_allowed_members table of the access database it would be a manual fix?

yes, you could do that, or you could use the "Alternative MOD Setup" to insert the values into the table using the example below, replacing the red ???? with the relevant forum_id and the green ???? with the member_id you wish to add, you can then add multiple members at once by just adding more (FORUM_ID,MEMBER_ID)#(????,????) lines before the [END] tag
[INSERT]
ALLOWED_MEMBERS
(FORUM_ID,MEMBER_ID)#(????,????)
[END] |
