You can, however, change the name of the group, if you want.Tue, 07 Jun 2005 13:20:53 GMTCarlos Munizhttp://community.instantasp.co.uk/Topic6879-45-1.aspxI know in 3.4 the Anonymous User group was one of the "required" groups that you couldn't get rid of. I wonder if even though you can now edit the permissions and such of the Anonymous group, that in the code its still required to be there and keep its default name?Tue, 07 Jun 2005 11:38:22 GMTJimmy Stuarthttp://community.instantasp.co.uk/Topic6879-45-1.aspxWell now all types of weird things are happening, so we're considering just waiting for RC3 and reinstalling. Now when we receive SOME PMs from guests, they show up <FONT color=#111111>as a null user and obviously throw the same System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException. The guest account now also shows another seemingly random user's signature. Weird problems, I thought I'd post them, but I'm sure some of the modifications we have made have now caused some of these issues. We look forward to RC3. ;)</FONT>Tue, 07 Jun 2005 10:54:45 GMTtyeodlehttp://community.instantasp.co.uk/Topic6879-45-1.aspxWell, I'm not sure actually. We have renamed the Anonymous user group, and associated it with a new permission set. The ID for the group should still be the same. We had no idea it was happening until a guest user had posted something. At that point we added a hidden member with ID 0 and it fixed the problem. Perhaps it was something we did when renaming the Anonymous user group. :ermm:Mon, 06 Jun 2005 11:25:44 GMTtyeodlehttp://community.instantasp.co.uk/Topic6879-45-1.aspxHi Tye,</P><P>Hope your well. The forum does not require a database record for the anonymous member account. The anonymous member is represented by the InstantASP.InstantForum.Components.AnonymousUser object. This object simply inherits from the InstantASP.InstantForum.Components.User object with a few members changed to represent the anonymous user within posts, where you referring to the anonymous "Member Group" or "Permission Set"?Sat, 04 Jun 2005 06:30:45 GMTRyan Healeyhttp://community.instantasp.co.uk/Topic6879-45-1.aspxWe were able to fix this problem. When anonymous users posted, this problem would occur. Somehow the Guest account was deleted, so were had to run a SQL script to insert the missing user back into the database. After that, everything was back to normal.Wed, 01 Jun 2005 12:09:13 GMTtyeodlehttp://community.instantasp.co.uk/Topic6879-45-1.aspxWe received the following error when we tried to access a post that a Guest had replied to.<br><br>[quote]<br>Exception Type: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException<br>Exception Message: Ticks must be between DateTime.MinValue.Ticks and DateTime.MaxValue.Ticks.<br>Parameter name: ticks<br>Exception Source: mscorlib<br>Exception Target Site: .ctor<br>[/quote]Wed, 25 May 2005 10:17:42 GMTtyeodle
