I will try that tonight, but I wanted to reply back here with another odd 
piece of information. My main goal was to provide a new user password to old 
users and have them log in and have everything work, including viewing voting.
However it seems that after I verify the access works on a test user, then set
the (A) New User access to s##, I must always edit the new user to be s##+1. 
For example I had it working with s201 on Testuser4. I changed new user access
to s201, then magically Testuser4 couldn't see topics. I bumped Testuser4 to 
202 and the topics returned. So I went back to new users being s50, then set 
Testuser to 50, no topics. Set to 51 and can list topics. 

E. Change a Vote: s150
F. Add voting choice: s50

Those seem to not affect the ability to _list_ topics

Hopefully starting with a fresh .DAT resolves the oddity :)
