You don't seem to have a forum:thread page. I checked at List All Pages, and there was one, but it was called deleted:forum:thread. You can use the Community Howto on Fixing Forums to see what pages you should create and what code to enter.

From what i can see:-

you have no categories set up in the "help" section.
You appear to have moved the "HIDDEN" Group into a viewable group.

other than that, it seems to be ok. I cannot get " does not exist" on any of the category's you have set up

I've a similar problem to this. I have created groups, and categories within them, and saved twice. But, when I click on a category link from the main groups page, I get the standard page does not exist page. This happens even if by messing around I have created threads within categories, and can jump to them by using direct URLs.

Anyone have any idea what the problem is here?

Any ideas on how to reslove this?

Thanks, Ian.

I've let a four-letter word fly more than once because I forgot to hit that SAVE button! ;)

A-M-E-N ?

Thanks Ed - you were spot on, I hadn't saved the overall changes. I can't believe I missed the button now that you've pointed it out :o)

Mark,

If I understand your problem, I think I've been bitten by this a couple of times myself. As you set up groups and categories, everything is displayed nicely and looks good as you go. But, if you don't hit the SAVE button at the very bottom of the forum structure page (there are 2 buttons there, CANCEL and SAVE), you'll lose everything you've done. The structure is not actually being saved as you go, even though it seems like it is.

I've let a four-letter word fly more than once because I forgot to hit that SAVE button! ;)

After creating a new forum category in my wiki, the categories are initially shown then disappear.

I have used Site Manager > Forums & discussion > Structure > create a new group to initially create groups but adding categories under each group always fails.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Thanks
Mark
