Thanks for the pointer. Things are now back to normal after reading about the forum modules and checking them in turn to make sure that they had the right bit of code included.

The "invalid thread" message is correct, because you need an actual forum link to resolve what thread shall be displayed. Follow the links in the forum hierarchy and everything works fine.

Specifically forum:recent-posts comes up empty although the articles are still in the admin section. I have tried recreating a page forum:thread with [[module ForumThread]] in it but this comes up with "invalid thread". Is there a way to fix this?

It's working now!

I have fixed your forum. I do not know how this happened but the pages responsible for displaying forum were not completely created. I think I will write a small howto describing the layout of forum modules…

Anyway, it should work now!

I went through what I think were all the tutorial steps, but I can't seem to get any forum pages to show up at my wiki, restoration.wikidot.com.

I keep getting messages saying the pages don't exist.

Thanks for any help…I really like wikidot, very anxious to get it up and running.

The content of this page must contain this line: 

 [[module ForumThread]]

Currently, it isn't possible to delete a thread and that's why users accidentally delete this page which is essential for a working forum. It happened on my wiki site too.

I thought I was deleting the thread but in actuality it was deleting the page.

Maybe it would help if the WikiDot Documentation would include some explanations about the modules [[module ForumStart]], [[module ForumCategory]], [[module ForumThread]] and their interaction with pages …

Perhaps I should lock them by default or sth similar…

http://ws-engineer.wikidot.com/forum:start

Forum Category R 15 Oct 2006 - 17:29:38 (rev. 1)
Page name changed: "forum:category" to "deleted:forum:category".

I was renaming/moving a category into the "Hidden Group" and it occurred just after that was saved.
(Ok, I am trying to weez myself out of appearing to be a complete idiot!)

Thanks for a great WIKIDOT service though…

I have fixed this. You have (for unknown reason?) removed the page forum:thread (i.e. renamed it to deleted:forum:thread). This page is essential if you want to have a working forum.

I have renamed it back so it works fine now ;-)

However, in the recent posts all the information is available.
