      SP> Actually just now after having a user modified to 151 and able to list, I s       SP> the new user access to 151 and created one. That user had a blank list of        SP> topics, so I tried the original user I tested with, and now that user doesn       SP> have any topics when I list. This is really weird. Any ideas on where to di       SP> in would be appreciated.       NA>        NA> Backup the VOTING.DAT file. Nuke it. Then create a zero-byte VOTING.DAT and       NA> try this again. Check the voting permissions in Config - ACS Settings (C)              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 :)              --- Renegade vY2Ka2        * Origin: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
