When I added a new group to my forum, the page simply cuts off the last row of the Permissions screen rather than incorporating a horizontal scroll bar... can this please be fixed? My forum is embedded.
Is it possible to post a screenshot of the problem? Thanks for reporting this bug.

ALSO there is a lack of flexibility or ability to override certain groups; basically I want authenticated members to be able to read and write to the forum immediately, but when I set up a (test) group 'suspended', and removed the writing privilege for a test member, it did not work because the authenticated group overrides all other groups - plus it is uneditable (not that editing it would help much in this case).

The simple solution would be to be able to re-order the groups and therefore change the hierarchy, e.g. 'suspended' to the left of 'authenticated' and problem solved!
Why do you need a "suspended" group? We have the ban feature that is used to block users. They can view the forum (if permissions allow), but they cannot do anything else. Would that work for you?
