       Restricted 'Regular members' becomes unrestricted after joining

       Hi there
       Bit complicated to explain without screenshots but I will try my
       best:
       On my forum I have set permissions/access for 'Regular members'
       to zero and unticked all checkboxes apart from a few (thus most
       boards on the forum appear invisible for a newly-registered
       member)
       I've also added membergroups - 'Male' 'Female' and 'Child' -
       which are unrestricted/open access. The option to join 'Male'
       'Female' or 'Child' is set at registration
       So if someone mistakenly registers without joining a group -
       they get quite a shock as the forum appears empty !!! This is
       exactly how I want it - once they have got over the shock
       they'll read the small print that says they can only use the
       forum fully if they join a membergroup
       The problem arises if someone messes around and switches back to
       'Regular Member' after joining their chosen membergroup - the
       permissions of the other membergroup (Male, Female, Child) seem
       to cross over into 'Regular Member' so instead of the forum
       appearing blank once again, the user can see all boards like
       normal
       To explain it succinctly:
       Being a 'Regular Member' = all boards are hidden (ohhh nooooo!!)
       Join a membergroup 'Male/Female/Child' = you can now view boards
       (oh what a relief !!!)
       Be naughty and switch back to 'Regular Member' = you can still
       view boards like normal (hehehehe...)
       As long as you remain part of the second membergroup
       (Male/Female/Child) and don't leave it, making 'Regular Member'
       the primary group makes no difference and you can carry using on
       the forum unrestricted
       Is there any way to change this so the person switching back to
       registered member has restricted access once again ???
       Many thanks !!
