   I will try that tonight, but I wanted to reply back here with another odd    
   piece of information. My main goal was to provide a new user password to old    
   users and have them log in and have everything work, including viewing voting.   
   However it seems that after I verify the access works on a test user, then set   
   the (A) New User access to s##, I must always edit the new user to be s##+1.    
   For example I had it working with s201 on Testuser4. I changed new user access   
   to s201, then magically Testuser4 couldn't see topics. I bumped Testuser4 to    
   202 and the topics returned. So I went back to new users being s50, then set    
   Testuser to 50, no topics. Set to 51 and can list topics.    
      
   E. Change a Vote: s150   
   F. Add voting choice: s50   
      
   Those seem to not affect the ability to _list_ topics   
      
   Hopefully starting with a fresh .DAT resolves the oddity :)
