Thanks a lot for this info. It worked great for my after one of our "Admin" users deleted the "forum:thread" page.

Good info. I fixed my forum after using the WRONG delete option.

Note to self and others: By all means "move a thread/post to hidden:deleted" but don't use the "delete page" option at the bottom. That's a global thing you want to avoid in the forum.

hidden/show

When you move something to the hidden category it seems that the option to 'show' the hidden category is available to anyone ~ How do you remove the 'show' option?

Broken forum

Hi all I have a problem with my forum pages that falls outside of the 'fixes'.
I? have all the pages coded correctly but can not for the life of me work out where the buttons have gone.

Is there a way to delete the forum and start from scratch, I went through the step by step guide to creating the forum and didnt see anywhere to activate it, could this be that it has been activated already.

for those that need to look the forum is at http://rmaa.wikidot.com/rmaa-wiki-forum

any assistance would be appreciated

Cheers

I have set 1 category but the problem i have is that there are no buttons to allow the users to post anywhere or add new replies
if you go to http://rmaa.wikidot.com/rmaa-wiki-forum you will see what i mean
