Now, the routine that checks for board access permissions was recently changed when I installed a new mod for the forum. So, I went to YaBB's Web site, searched, and discovered that there are a whole slew of posts about this exact problem. I guess that means I won't be able to fix it until after I've sorted them all. But at least in this instance I know what I'm looking for because I've been able to duplicate it.
Well, I just discovered that the mod doesn't actually do all of what it promises. I want people to automatically get access to the archive when they reach 50 posts rather than my having to check post counts and grant them access to the archive myself. But apparently all this mod will do is elevate someone to a different status level that's based on posts. The forum was already doing that BEFORE I installed the mod!
So, it looks like I'm going to have to rewrite the board access routine myself. The good thing is it looks to be a simple rewrite. But I've eaten words like that more than once already.
The best I can do is promise to fix the problem as soon as possible.
