Looks like the wrong name is given to the guests "group".

Bug and blocker for 1.0.3.

QuoteActually... what does this select do?

It sets the board permissions for bots the same as the selected user group, so bots can only see what this user group can see.

That's what I thought.
TBH I'm not sure how that could be useful, spiders are guests, and they should be guests.
And, as far as I remember, if you give googlebots the permission to see things that "normal guests" cannot see, you get penalization.

 emanuele wonders if it is one of those features to remove.

I use that to set up spider groups to limit them even further than guests, restrict them to certain boards etc .. agree that you don't want to give them more than a guest, but there are cases when you want to give them less ....

ehh...
Interestingly enough, the very first time it was coded "right" (in the sense that 1 was "converted" to 0), but after a while the "conversion" was removed.
