"You can check when their membership info was last changed by looking at the date on the file. Check that the
 encrypted password contained there is the same as the one in the .htaccess file."

So far, the passwords seem to still be identical.

"Could it be a coincidence on top of a bug? If the .htgroupmembers file or .htgroupaccess files are not written correctly when someone joins, that could apparently wipe out all the existing members."

I'm starting to suspect permissions were not reset to unwritable after the installation which could be causing the overwrite?? And to correct this:

1: Which directories need to be changed? 2: Will write access need to be removed for user, group, and world?
