What was done before the problem appeared?
Upgrade from 140 to 141


What was done to try to solve the problem?
tried to reset permissions of forums and resynced forums



De.scription and Message

Well just had this pointed out to me. Dont know if this is just a prob on my end or something else.

Any new users who register on my site can see all forums that are admin only forums. This is only with people who have registered since I upgraded. All previous users are still not able to see them.

I tried resetting the forum permissions and also resynced the forums and still the new member can see the forums. I registered myself as a new user and I am seeing all the threads.

Also it seems that new members are not able to upload an avatar or signature even though these options are turned on in:
ACP/GENERALADMIN/CONFIGURATION
although it is turned on here a new user is set to off by default and it has to be enabled by an admin.



Where should I start looking. I have absolutely no clue and really need to solve this issue asap.

still workin on this prob. Just have some more info. Seems that after a certain amount of time, new users lose the ability to see the [hidden] forums. So could it maybe be a db issue?

Well I have narrowed this down to a time issue. It seems to take almost exactly 48 hours for the permissions to take effect on new users. Almost to the minute. Is anyone else having this problem?
