and if you only want to change 1 group, then do the group based screen, instead..

that is where you look @ 1 group, and set perms per forum..

not the one where you have 1 forum and all groups...

regardless, you have multiple ways to do it

do what you want

Missed that one via the Groups.
First time ive had to do what ive done and habit takes me to the permissions page, but its clear now and easy.

Group Managment >>> Forums >>> (In Here)

What's helped is seeing the settings in place as i understand them which has made it so much easier to do / change in the future.

Thanks for the help Apreciated

I still think that mass copy is the least labor intensive.
Group permissions:
26 permissions X 100 forums =2600 edits.
Mass copy:
26 edits one time.
Then selecting 100 forums = 126 edits.

The end result is the same.
My 2 cents.

You can change the group's permissions in one set of forums... leave everyone else's permissions alone, and set that forum.... then use the copy function and the permissions will be exactly set up the way the "template" forum is...all groups that are allowed to post etc will be able to.... and the one group that is -1 will be that way (as long as the forum you are copying from has the correct permissions that you wanted).

no, it's not..

the easiest, for what Mark S wanted was to go to the specific group's forum permissions ( 1 screen that has all forums for that 1 group ) and edit there.

like he eventually did, when i pointed out where it was. ( http://yourforums.com/admin/groupmanage.php - then select the group eg: http://yourforums.com/forums/admin/group_forumperms.php?edit_group=6 )

most peeps go to forum permissions ( which is where he was going ), but fail to see that there is another way to do it...

ie: (1 group: all forums), vs (1 forum, all groups, then mass copy)

additionally, mass copy won't work for what he wanted, since it wasn't where he wanted to copy ALL forum perms from the source forum to the others. he only wanted to affect 3 or 4 perms per, but leave the others untouched

ahhh well SD I guess we misunderstood what he actually wanted to do.. *sigh* sorry. However I learned something too.... because I didn't know you could do perms that way as well


Dunny

yep, it's not the 'normal' way peeps do perms

soooooooooooooooo... you're forgiven for not knowing it
