Title: strange things happening with my forum - need pointers please
Post by: kh on May 01, 2007, 03:02:30 PM
I have been trying to refine the set up of my new forum ( www.hrbuzz.com.au/forum ) and something wierd has started happening and I don't know why!

When I'm logged in as admin, in the forum, if I click on expand or collapse a category, that function works but the "Home" navigation tab is highlighted instead of the "Forum" tab.

If I am not logged in I cannot see the collapse option on the forum categories an if I click on a category title I get taken to the home page.

Can anyone think of what may be causing these issues?

Just tested that on my forum and I get the same  ???

you wont see the collapse option when logged out, I also get sent to the home page when logged out.

But I don't know what is happening  ???

Tested on default theme too zetan :)

Exactly the same on the default theme here too. It was all working correctly a few hours ago (I think!).

EDIT: I assumed something I had changed broke it  :-\

It happens here on TP too, I have reported it to bloc, so just have to wait to see if its a bug or not

I see... I can't test that right now, I have a Thurnok Forum View limit in place  :2funny:
And I'm at work.

This have been adressed several times, i also know there is a fix some where in here (although for TP V.095) but should still be the same.
I will try and search for it and post here if i find it.

Can anyone suggest how or where to search for the fix to this ?

I'm sorry to say I'm not finding the search function on here very useful, possibly because I'm not yet very familiar with the TP/SMF termnology :'(

If you open the advanced search function and check the cat box where it say "entire forum" you will find it very usefull.
Also use a lot of diffrent search frases.

Hmm, I'm searching using terms like "collapse" in Bugs, Support and Mod Instructions. I have found similar issues mentioned, but no fix.

I'm beginning to think I should go with a commercial product in instead of SMF. I love the way SMF and TP are developing but I'm not sure the product is mature enough for my needs. What do you think? are there lots of bugs ?

Cant say what you should use for your needs.
But what i know is that we are growing and we are in beta stage, and all this for free with no charge is a lot more then you get in most places in the world.

Iknow there is a fix some where, and i know this will be solved some time, so patiense is good to have to  :D
