hi can any one tell me why when i go to forum admin. and then permissions,neither in simple mode or advanced is there any drop downs to select permissions the only drop downs there are ,aministrator /user,and is moderator/ not moderator the rest of the fields are empty...also i looked within the sql data base for the permissions tablels and i cant find anything in the listings that says permissions...thank you in advance.

I dont quite understand what you mean, but in the forum admin permissions you choose a field that you've made for the forum and set who can see that section.

i.e. General Discussion - you would say set All to view it. If it was an admin section, you could say only admin/mod could view it, or even make it a private section.

what im talking about is when you go to the user permissions in the forum admi where you set the...user can view, delete, edit, add poll etc...none of those drop down fields are there ?

Have you set up usergroups for your forums?

I workout who can do what and see what via the usergroup permissions.

Normally they only show up if you have set a forum section to private veiwing only.

This only shows up if you set a forum to "Private" and then you can select for each user if he can get access

ALL
REG
PRIVATE
MOD
ADMIN

Those are the selections that SHOULD be showing in your dropdown list under Forum premissions.

If they are not there, make sure that you definately have all the Forum's appropriate files uploaded.

I can't see any reson they should not be showing up. :?

Mikem, I don't think he means that,
he's talking about the users permissions, not the forumspermissions, with user permissions those little dropdownboxes only show op for a forum that is set up as PRIVATE in the forumspermissions. He asks why the boxes don't show up in userpermissions.

Ahh..I see now..OK here is what ours looks like.



I've never seen any drop down options for the View/Reply etc.

That's normal, but when you set a forum to PRIVATE the dropdownboxes appear to give that user a PRIVATE access to the PRIVATE forum

Sorry for putting it like this but it's to make sure everybody understand this

Right. So basically. First you go to Forum Permissions. Set that Forum permissions for View, Read etc to PRIVATE.

Then go to a Users permissions and under Advanced mode, you should se this
