[I accidentally posted this in the Beginner's forum - sorry about the cross post]
I'm using the latest myAlbum-P (2.84) on XOOPS 2.2.2 with PHP5. Everything is working except that I can't alter security. I can personally upload/edit, delete as webmaster, but I can't grant ANY permissions to anyone or even change my own.

When I check something and save, it says permissions successfully applied, however, I see no information that it's altering any tables. When I return to the Global Permissions, it shows the old settings.

GiJoe suggested I upgrade to 2.9 alpha and this indeed fixed the issue (though it introduced a small thing with limiting the number of thumbnails on the Recent Photos with Thumbs block).

Just wanted to update the thread in case anyone else is in the same boat.
