Cannot create a forum

posts: 1

System:
Tiki 1.7.4, running on IIS 5.1, PHP 4.3.4, MySQL 4.0.17
Fresh install (second time around).

Problem:
I cannot, via normal menus or icons, find a way to add a new forum. If I go to tiki-admin_forums.php I can add a forum, but neither my users nor I can find out how to get to this page via normal menus or settings. My admin settings all take me to tiki-admin.php?page=forums, which has an empty Home Forum drop down. I've seen this issue raised twice now on this forum with no clear solution given. Can anybody help?

Hi,

Once your forum has been created it will appear in tiki-forums

Things I would check for are the value of Section. and make sure that if you did choose a section you set the dropdown to the Create option.

Otherwise its a permissions issue, but that wont explain why admin user cannot see it.

Have a look at the section list. Does it show in tiki-admin_forums at the bottom of that page listing?
