ForgeEssentials permissions!

[97waterpolo]

Hey guys! I really need to fix the permissions for my server! I am using forge essentials and it all the commands and features are great. My problem is that when a player joins, they are automatically set the the group "Guests" and they can not do anything unless I manually set them to "Members". I tried copying all the permissions from "Members" over to "Guests" and when I look into the file though FTP it says they are both the same, yet in-game it doesn't work! I really need help. I personally want to completely remove the guest rank and immediately have them go to "Members". If needed, I will paste a pastie of the permissions.txt but I am 100% sure the permissions between "Members" and "Guests" are the same. I even tested the ranks seperately. I am thinking it has something to do with the groups.txt. I tried to completely delete the "Guests" rank and it still sets them there. I have "_ENTRY_PLAYER_" as the players in group for members yet it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Would PEX work, but with forge essentials permissions?

Is there other ssues with ForgeEssentials?

Intended, change the default group, there's a config somewhere but I seem to have forgot where it was.
And no, we don't work with pex.

Not both at the same time, I don't think. What would be the point?
