Alright, I am having a strange recurring issue.  Some people forget their user id's and passwords so they for some unknown reason are setting up another account on my site.  So, I kindly delete the previous user and assign the appropriate permissions to the new user they created.  the problem is that this new user does not appear to employ those permissions.  If I look at them in the user editor, the permissions are there, if I login as that user, I can not see the things on my site that a user with that permission should be able to see.  Any idea what's up with this?

Also, is there a way for me to undelete these original accounts that I deleted?  The users table isdeleted is set to 0 for the accounts.  I expected to see them = 1, but they are not.  The users do not show up in user manager any more, so I have no idea how it is that they are being marked as deleted in 5.06.01.  Can anyone help?

Yes, I have seen that post. But I have this problem today on a production site, and I can not install the beta version (5.6.2) in order to fix the issue. So, if anyone has knowledge of the inner workings of this so that I can restore my deleted user manually, I would be very appreciative.

Also, it appears that it is only the FORUM module that is not respecting the permissions. I added a test page to my site and required the same role to view it as my group in the forum. All the users in that role are able to see the page just fine. The user that created another account (who's original account I deleted) is also able to see the page, but still can not see the forums that require the same role. Everything about this users account is a mirror of the originally created account except his account name. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

or more likely a depreciated function which gathers the users permissions and such.
