Also, there is a bug that will hide the submit article link if you are not allowing uploads.

I think he's got the userbox thing worked out.

OK got the user box thingy, I wasn't using it before.  I have the following boxes checked
Can submit HTML articles     
Can submit BBC articles   
Can edit own articles

With these checked registered users still seem to be unable to post I only saw those options when I accidentally checked the box next to manage articles.  I obviously don't want that since they have access to delete anyones articles apparently.  Also I don't want to use the submissions always approved options since that won't be the case.  Am I stuck using these options whether I like them or not?

If you want a group to be able to submit articles, for that groupput a checkmark by  "Can submit html articles" or "Can submit BBC articles" or both. If you don't want that group to be able to edit or delete other articles, do not put a checkmark by "Can manage articles."

If users can't submit articles unless "manage articles" is checked, then there is a problem. I know that it's not a bug with TP, though, because I have permission to submit html and bbc articles, but I can't manage articles.

Thanks guys, Petee hit it on the head :up: The whole allow upload thingy seems to have done the trick. Interesting though that the upload link leads to a 404 page which is good as far as I am concerned since I don't want people uploading stuff anyway :P Thanks again folks.

OK one more thing.  I have decided to just go ahead and put the article in a block.  When I choose the single article option and put it in a block it only says the authors name and rating but doesn't show the article. As you can see in the first image where in the area that says testing area.  The second issue that appears happens when I click on an article title when I have the articles from category listed.  Anytime I choose an article it shows up low on the page like in the second image below.  Any help would be appreciated.

Does it do the same in Default Core theme ?

Checked the core theme and got the same problem.  It seems that the problem is limited to BBC articles as HTML articles seem to work much better. So I will just use HTML.  One other question though, when I set an HTML article on the front panel in a block it doesn't show the title even though it has been checked in the options.  And secondly, is there a way to simply lead list the articles or article categories on the front panel? I know you can list articles by category but that seems to only show one category at a time.  Any help would be appreciated, thanks again.

Edit: Removing the right panel seems to have solved most of the problems on both counts.  I should be good for now, thanks for the help!  :up:
