[Rumpus-talk] Users viewable through the app, not the web

[Brady J. Frey]

Fantastic John, that was the exact fix needed. I had physically set  
the admin to the main folder, rather than explicit ROOT- once I  
changed it, everything was fixed:). Have a great day, again, much  
appreciated, I owe you one!
