New users have no permissions?

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

When I sign up as a new user, it logs me in but I have no visibility into any of the forums. In fact, the non-logged in user can see everything (presumably because they are Anonymous at that point?) but the brand-new user, it appears, must be put into the Public Group manually be the Administrator in order for them to see anything. That can't be right. I thought all new users would automatically be made part of the Public Group.

hhmm.. new users should automatically be associated with the General Users group. It works this way.
I assume that the General Users group has the ID "1". Please check that.

Ah. OK. Mental note: don't delete the General group. I had done that and recreated one with the name Public. (I think). Anyway, that explains it. Thanks. A feature request might be to flag exactly one Group as the "default" group (or simply disallow deletion of the General group).

hhmm.. jforum shouldn't allow the deletion of groups that have users associated with it. I'll check.

Thanks.
