I encounted errors on version 2.05.1. The first error was that clicking on the forums link in main menu brought up a page that said error accessing page and then redirected me back to the front page. Since the private forums hack was supposed to be only for the private forums, then why was it not allowing any access to the public forums either? Maybe this is just because it won't work with 2.0.5.1?
Then I realized that I had to manually add users to the private forums group table in sql through my phpmyadmin. I added myself to one of my private forums and used the forum menu block that was part of this hack to get to that private forum that I was added to. When I first clicked on that forum, it brought up a successful access granted page, then the same error page as before showed up right after and redirected me back to the front page.
Why would users of a group have to be added manually in the database for the private forums? Is it because you have to reinstall the newBB module first? You can't just upgrade?
