[support] Users can't access content

[Daniel Carrera]

WHOO HOO!!!!

Thanks Victor, your solution worked. As far as I can tell, all pages are 
visible to all users (as it should be).

I still have a problem with permissions, but a less pressing one. I have 
a role called "site developer" that should be able to edit any page, but 
for some reason they can't. I'll write a separate post about that.

Thanks again.
