I, as admin, keep getting this error: "You do not have permissions to search any forum on this site."
It occurs from all 4 of the first links and on every page of my board. The board is currently in construction but it happened when I took the board out of construction, too.

Hello,

Have you by any chance edited the templates containing these codes?

EDIT: I'll be a little more specific with my question;
What Templates have you edited in the sections "General" and Post & private messages"?
Could you describe what your changes did please?

Are other users experiencing this as well?
What browser are you using, and is possible if others are experiencing this as well, their browser?
Have you tried clearing the cache & cookies of your browser?

Oi! That's alot of questions... Okay... first, I'm currently the only one on the forum because I'm completely overhauling it. I'm using Firefox as my browser, yes I've cleared the cache (twice), and as for the template editing:

'Post & Private Messages > posting_body':
Altered this

Code:

<div id="pun-visit" class="clearfix">
   <ul>
       <li><a href="{U_SEARCH_NEW}">{L_SEARCH_NEW}</a></li>
       <li><a href="{U_SEARCH_SELF}">{L_SEARCH_SELF}</a></li>
   </ul>
   <p>{LOGGED_AS}. {LAST_VISIT_DATE}</p>
</div>

to this

Code:

<div id="pun-visit" class="clearfix">
   <p>{LOGGED_AS}. {LAST_VISIT_DATE}</p>
</div>

because in 'General > overall_header_new' I did this

Code:

<div id="hdr">
<!-- BEGIN switch_user_logged_in -->
<div id="pun-visit" class="clearfix">
   <ul>
      <li>
          <script type="text/javascript">
          //<![CDATA[
            insert_plus_menu_new('f{FORUM_ID}&f={FORUM_ID}','{JS_SESSION_ID}', {JS_AUTH_FAVOURITES});
         //]]>
         </script>
      </li>
                <li>· <a href="/login.forum?logout">Log Out</a> ·</li>
                <li>· <a href="/profile.forum?mode=editprofile">Profile</a></li>
                <li>· <a href="/msg.forum?folder=inbox">PM</a></li>
       <li><a href="{U_SEARCH_NEW}">{L_SEARCH_NEW}</a></li>
       <li><a href="{U_MARK_READ}">{L_MARK_TOPICS_READ}</a></li>
   </ul>
   <p>{LOGGED_AS} » {LAST_VISIT_DATE}</p>
</div>
<!-- END switch_user_logged_in -->
<!-- BEGIN switch_user_logged_out -->
<div id="pun-visit">
   <p>{L_NOT_CONNECTED} {L_LOGIN_REGISTER}</p>
</div>
<!-- END switch_user_logged_out -->
                              </div>

so the 'pun-visit' would be on top of all pages. All the links work in the bar including clicking on the 'Actions' link. But for some reason it continues to come up that I don't have access to search the board. However, if I go directly to the 'Search' page then it searches and returns results with no problem. There are also no problems with the links at the bottom of the page ( * Today's active topics * Today's top 20 posters * Overall top 20 posters). And thanks, Darren for responding.

Oi! That's alot of questions...

What can I say, I want to win the money

And thanks, Darren for responding.

Your welcome, it looks like im the only punbb specialist around lately too, so ur stuck with me

Righteo?

And before these changes there was no problem?
Well, I'm certain there isnt any conflicting code, let alone anything that would well, destroy permissions so speedily?

Try Resynchronizing the forum to the DB
https://help.forumotion.com/tricks-tips-f32/resynchronizing-your-forum-t50777.htm

If this doesn't work, do you mind if I make an account and view the problem first hand?

Before I resynchronize, I'd much prefer you join and check it out for yourself. The last time I resync'd after doing alot of work on the place it all reverted back to the previous layout and messed everything up... in essence, I lost all the work I had done and I so do not want to do that again. But I digress... no problem with being stuck with you, I appreciate it.

P.S. The site isn't done yet, so please forgive the mess.

It is http://toukaisha.phpbb9.com/index.htm right?

I understand mess, I have a extremely un-organized mess on my test forum and somehow I have several incomplete tuts lol.

Yep, that's the one, but I see you already scooted over there so I'll await your diagnosis.

Well, I'll be honest, I don't know what's going on at all, because everything is working perfectly fine, even your very unique nav. bar.
Ive just given it another shot, but its fine for me.

Have you tried on a different browser?

Sorry for the delay... yes, sir, I have and it still isn't working. But so long as it is working for you, then it should be fine for others and I can deal with it not working for me. Thank you.

Its working for me also. By any chance you using IE?

Ewww... nope... no IE. Using FF. But again, so long as it is working for others, I'm good. Don't need those links for me.
