Full Version: New usergroup gets admin privileges?!

I am trying to make a secret section of my forum, like a VIP only section. So what I did was create a new user group, and set forum permissions that only users in that group (and admin) can see the special section I created.

I logged in as all other levels of users (registered, mod, etc) and only admin can see the section I made which is good. But when I went to test the usergroup and add a registered user to it, they can see the new section but also admin and staff only sections! Yet they are still only a registered user! How come and how can I stop that from happening?

When I take them out of the usergroup they go back to normal, but then they can't see the new section either. Any help?
Check to make sure that your staff only forums don't give the priviledges to the VIP usergroup. You have to explicitly set them not to.
