Member can't see board?

I've just transferred a forum over to SMF 2.0 RC4 and opened it up to members.  However, the regular member group does not seem capable of seeing forums that it should have access to.  I've double-checked the board permissions and the Regular Members group is checked off to view the board.

When going into a specific player profile and checking their permissions, it has a huge list of boards that they do not have access to.  But according to the board settings, they should have access to them. 

Help?

Did you deny any permissions?  Remember that if you deny a permission to a membergroup, any member in that group will be denied that permission.  Also make sure you have the boards where you are using individual board permissions set to Local instead of Global.

Alright, thanks.  I've managed to solve the issue, though I'm not entirely sure how I did.  XD  I find permissions a bit confusing, but hopefully I'll get a handle on it soon.

The permissions system can be quite complicated but once you figure it out, you realize how versatile it is.  Glad you got it worked out.  If this is solved, please mark it solved by clicking the Mark Topic Solved link at the bottom left.
