If there is a better way, I haven't found it. I exported the users table to CSV. Then using one user line as a guide, I used Excel to populate rows with the information (userid, pw etc.) Saved this to CSV and imported back to the table. Did the same with groups table. Seemed to work fine.

Thanks for the explanation. If I may continue your thread using your site example, let me try to use set notation and see if I got this straight

Premiere Member is a subset of Basic Member
Basic Member is subset of Registered User

Therefore every premiere memeber is also a registered user.

Now, when you set up the group permissions, did you copy all Registered User permissions to Basic User and then add the additional permissions? Or did you just define the additional permissions?

I ask because it seems the second way works on my site. This leads to the question of just how permissions are applied. It appears that the results from the query are 'ORed' together to create a composite permission set.

Clarification on Group memberships?

I am using groups on my site to control access to areas and forums and the like. Nothing new or exciting there. I am using the groups more like attributes for users.
For example:
A person can belong to
"Registered Users"
"Parents" <<< This is the 'base' class
"Board"
"Executive Board"
"Truck Crew"

I am however having problems understanding just how this ultimately works out for specific module permissions. Assuming that I specify the permissions for the 'base' group, do I need to replicate those to the other groups and then add/delete specific permissions? In this example, being a "Board" member allows access to specific private forums.

Assuming that the permission sets were different, in this case, which permission set would be used?

I modified my post... the problem is not animated gifs, it's the file name length. All my animated gif names were 18 characters in length while the standard ones were 12-14.

News module: long gif names not supported

If you upload a gif (animated or other) with a file name longer than 15 characters to /modules/news/images/topics and select it as the image of a topic or subtopic, the image is not displayed. In preview mode, an "broken image" box is shown, but the same article in the news display shows no box.

When you modify an existing topic, the topic name is not filled in on the modifacation form. Of course, if you save the change, it produces and error. The field should be prefilled.
