Forum suddenly doesn't allow replies

[Zoundz]

Hi all,

Just been alerted by a member that our forum: http://irishratclub.forum-phpbb.co.uk/ no longer allows replies to any topic or to PMs - I have no idea how to fix this, checked in the admin panel and could see nothing that was helpful, any thoughts?

hello

Check the editor option into your administrative panel: PA>>General>>Messages & emails>> Configuration>> "Allow quick reply"


It should work

Let me know

Hi, thanks for that, it's a temporary fix anyway as it does allow us to reply now, but still only in quick reply - there's no button to reply normally.

AP > General > Forum > Categories & Forums
Check each forum permissions to see if the box for members to reply is checked.  Make sure to be in advanced permissions mode.

Also see if there is an image for the reply button:
AP > Display > Colors & Pictures > Pics Management
Advanced Mode
Button Tab

There is a lot of problems with buttons going missing this was down to some data getting lost on servimg
https://help.forumotion.com/t136733-only-topic-loss-of-servimg-images if your button is missing then this will be your problem and  I am really sorry but this data is lost and we will not have the chance to get it back you will have to have a button made for you if you Don't have a copy of it on your computer.

Yes, it seems likely that there is a button missing alright... what do I do about that? It's most inconvenient, and being not overly techy minded I don't really know what to do next to fix the problem!

You'll have to get an image you like, then go to your Administration Panel => Display => Pictures and Colors => Pics management => Advanced

There you can find the correct category and replace the blank/broken image with your new one.
