therefore the existing problem. I am not the only

[Necrophyte]

Ok, Found a REALLY easy fix till they can sort it out. Took me a while to grasp how they have done it.
Open up core/vb/api/usergroup.php
Go to Line 51
Change

        $this->privateGroups = array(self::CHANNEL_OWNER_SYSGROUPID, self::CHANNEL_MODERATOR_SYSGROUPID, self::CHANNEL_MEMBER_SYSGROUPID);

to this

        $this->privateGroups = array(self::CHANNEL_OWNER_SYSGROUPID, self::CHANNEL_MODERATOR_SYSGROUPID, self::CHANNEL_MEMBER_SYSGROUPID, 167);

Change the 167 to what your usergroup # is for "Channel Member"
This will get you going till they can fix the issue on their end.

hello

I tried but it did not solve the problem.
Now you see this error after activating php_error

Warning: Illegal string offset 'userid' in /home/AAA/public_html/vb/includes/vb5/template.php(329) : eval()'d code on line 101 Warning: Illegal string offset 'userid' in /home/AAA/public_html/vb/includes/vb5/template.php(329) : eval()'d code on line 157 Warning: Illegal string offset 'nodeid' in /home/AAA/public_html/vb/includes/vb5/template.php(329) : eval()'d code on line 49

Ahh fluff bunnies. Ok So I just figured it. I'm sorry.
Go look at your usergroups. Find the one called Channel Member.
Whatever number that usergroup is, put that in place of 167.

Has anyone raised this in the Tracker? If so, what's the link to the issue?

This above one is fixed already in 5.2.6
I don't know if anyone has reported it sorry. Just trying to help folks fix with a patch, till it can get sorted later.

They will review it 5.3.1 but that is no guarantee.
All bugs and requests have to be prioritised based on a number of factors, primarily available resources, which are finite.

This is a serious problem, because private groups contain the secrets of the members, for this problem in my forum no one trusts to use groups, rather they completely left the forum

It is best to add comments to the bug, and ensure it has votes (which can help with prioritization).

Support do not have any real influence over bug prioritization.

can you give me the link please
thanks
