Description of problem

This morning, when I tried to create a new sub-forum inside of the "History and Lore" forum on my site (Revival Dawn), I noticed that all the topics previous inside History and Lore were missing from the topic list where they normally appear (see attached screenshot).

I confirmed that the topics have not been deleted as I'm still able to backdoor to them with direct links. I also confirmed that their breadcrumb trail has not changed (they are still inside History and Lore). So, I'm not sure why the topics aren't appearing in the topic list.

Any assistance in this regard would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Gray

Have you done a backup of the forum before you see this problem ?
If you do a backup sometimes the files are saved on the system but will not show on the main page.

Good afternoon!

You need to check your CSS codes - I found an instruction that blocks the forums from displaying.

music in forum - Missing Topics in forum topic list (even though the topics exist) Scree271

This is where I turn off this instruction:

You may also have added scripts that can modify CSS codes

I suspect you wanted to hide some other element in another part of the forum with this code

Hello!

Thanks so much! You catching that actually helped me narrow down the issue. I had edited the description for the History and Lore forum, and I had a classic case of a missing closing tag that was causing this issue.

Thanks again!
