So let us just confirm
You went to the manage groups and forums - selected the forum and clicked on the 'Forum Permissions' button. At this point can I assume that the new user group did NOT have an entry. If it did can you delete it - update - reload everything?

Exactly what I did. Just did it again: - no result..

Should I perhaps try to delete the entire usergroup and start all over again?

No - there is no need to delete the user group.

Do these users actually have permission to subscribe to forums in the user-group/permission set you are adding?

And how many users are there in the group?

Yes, they do have permission. There are approx. 100 members in that usergroup..

The same users are members of another usergroup as well. Could that perhaps cause a problem?

Again no. My own tests were with users in other groups.

Are you seeing any errors reported in the forum error log? Actually - clear the log out and then try again and see if anything gets reported. In this case perhaps notices as well.

Then I am well and truly stuck for ideas! After that code correction I can not get it to fail.

@mr-papa - do you by any chance have any ideas?

When I look at "users>forum_subscriptions" (backend) , it now lists my name 7 times! So I guess each time I tried to add the usergroup to the forum, it has added another instance of my name.

Other names of members in the usergroup, however, are not listed here.

Now this is interesting, because I - and only I - already was subscribed to that forum. I am member of another usergroup that also has access to the forum, so I already had subscribed to the forum manually in my profile.

Could this have something to do with the problem?
