by ambergirlsrock31 March 27th 2013, 9:07 am

I recently undeleted my forum, bearvilleadventure.forummotion.com and now the guests/mods/admin can't reply to topics, only I, founder can
when they try to reply it says: Permissions: you can;t reply to topics in this forum
but when i go to the permissions for the categories, it says they can!!

You need to change the permissions for the forum & not the categories.
General>Categories and Forums
Click on a forum name
Permissions tab.

It says everybody can write and reply except guests.

Can you provide me with a test member account via PM, so i can try to post.

Edit: The account you provided me with was only in one group, The Blue Team

Show me permissions of a single forum, if this group has the ability to post. Post a screenshot.

Hello,

Your forum is on "Forum on holiday" mode. So it's normal that no one but the admins can reply on the ropics.

For about the other admins problem, you backed up your forum, and for security reasons, the backup delate all admins permissions and keep only the founders power. that's why the other admins could not reply to Wink

to correct that, you have:

1. desable the "Forum on holiday" mode on your admin panel >> general >> configuration.
2. give back the permissions to the admins
