yet for some reason anyone in the $mod group cannot delete topics. This has been irking me for some time, as I need moderators to be able to delete topics, and edit posts, but they can't even delete the topic. Any suggestions? This is a really big project I'm working on and it is important to me that I can have mods AND admins as to differ between the two. [btw, the database info is filled out in MY config.php file]
