#4612: Guest users unable to use Ajax functions properly on the Groups Loop

 Guests users can't get past the first page in the groups loop, and the
 pagination disappears as soon as they click the arrow or the page number
 below (using ?grpage=2&num=20 as a GET request works for some reason,
 though).

 I solved this bug in a non-elegant way: the problem was the `do_action(
 'wp_ajax_nopriv_' . $_REQUEST['action'] );` on the /wp-admin/admin-
 ajax.php file, line 68. I commented the line and changed the call to
 `do_action( 'wp_ajax_' . $_REQUEST['action'] );`, and it all worked. Not
 sure if doing this entails some kind of security hole, but I was desperate
 and in need for a fix. If there's a way to create or deactivate this hook
 in an elegant way, I'm down for it.
