MyBB Help: Couple issues

[Remember..]

All members can rate there own threads.

I have a huge issue with my VIP sub-forum, the permissions are set exactly right, yet VIP members can't see the display threads on the right,
it shows up as empty as if there is no post.

VIP members cant see other VIP members threads.. "only in the VIP sub-forum"

Staff/VIP/Reg members can't edit anything at all in there post/threads.

Check permissions again, 'can only view own threads' should be unticked.

Configuration > search for 'edit', check your edit times and if it's enabled.
