I created my group, now I am trying to add permissions. When I go to the advance mode of the permissions listing chart I cannot click anything to change them up.. (ie read, write, view, delete, sticky etc...)

Is there something I am doing wroung or is the forum not setup right?

If you're on the Group Access screen, then just click one of the groups above and it will give radio buttons for that group on all of the forums listed below that you can click on.
