In previous versions, it was possible to click a link in the permission masks page to preview that permission mask. It seems that this has been removed in 3.0? I found it pretty helpful when creating a new group to be able to verify this was set correctly. In fact, I think it should be something you should get to from the groups page. Let me explain.

The way I set up my masks is by having the default 'members' mask give access to the standard forums, and is in use by the Members group. Additional groups I create also use this mask, as well as their own unique mask which just gives them those additional forum(s) that group gets access to. It would be nice if I could preview a group's overall permissions considering all of their masks. The only way I could test an issue I had with this recently was by creating a test account, I shouldn't need to do that to check this.

Affects privacy setting: 'Allow users to browse the Active Users list?'

Hello,

I observed some strangeness with this setting.

Set to 'yes', everybody can browse the online list.
Set to 'no', nobody can browse the online list.

I found that a bit too general / absolute. Well, I expected administrators and global moderators are 'protected' from this, but admins and global mods are also forbidden to view it.

Having a global option or at least a per group setting to allow / disallow it for them would be nice. This was possible in IPB 1.x days and I found it very useful to have.

I personally do not want guests (and spiders) to be able to access the online list.

And I want a per group setting to allow or disallow a certain group to access the online list. Something similar was possible with IPB 1.x. But that seems not possible with IPB 3.x now.

Do I overlook something?

Regards
