subject: Renegade voting permissions

I recently resurrected my old Renegade BBS going from 10.05 to v05-19.4. I 
have just about everything working but I have some odd behavior on the voting
booth. I'm being forced to give s150+ access to vote, which includes being
able to track votes and view user votes.  I've tried editing the VOTING.MNU
file to fiddle with permissions and it looks like even s50 should be able to
vote, but when I create a user with that permission, hitting L to list topics
doesn't show any topics.  I have tried matching the s### on (t)rack vote and
(u)ser votes moving the permission level lower, but that doesn't seem to keep
the permission to view the list of votes.  Something seems hard coded to the
secuirty level to actually display the list.  Any idea where I could change
that level to something reasonable like s50?  It looks like you must have
s151 or greater to list, despite any VOTING.MNU access level settings.

Actually just now after having a user modified to 151 and able to list, I set 
the new user access to 151 and created one. That user had a blank list of 
topics, so I tried the original user I tested with, and now that user doesn't 
have any topics when I list. This is really weird. Any ideas on where to dig 
in would be appreciated.
