Hi,

I'm trying to set up a member (using a my test member account to try this currently) as a moderator in a restricted range of subforums - I'm using the moderators tool under staff - and then under forums I've chosen the ones they can moderate. However when I test this they can still moderate in forums I haven't given access to - any ideas on why this is happening or what else i should change?

Thanks

Check the "Content" tab of the moderator. This is "all content" stuff.

Thanks ..... i enable them to do things in the content tab; but shouldn't the forums restrict things to only the forums i've given access to? or is there no way to restrict this?

Unfortunately not. The content tab is "all content".

thanks ......... but hmm, i thought there was a way of limiting the areas someone could moderate

If you uncheck "all content", it'll show other categories. Then you can go to the Forums tab, untick "all forums" and edit them there. But all content has to be off.
