Unable to create categories or forums

[Dragonladee]

I am hoping for simple yet clear instructions on creating topics in my forum.  The only thing that appears is "Basket" 
I go to admin panel and to "Categories and Forums" but there is no option to create any new topics.

I am also a bit confused about where a new topic should be...  

Thank you for any help.

Press the button to create a forum/category. Also, you don't create topics in the administration panel.

Also, check your structure and hierarchy. Go to the Display => Homepage => Structure & Hierarchy. I believe Medium (bottom row) is what you'll need.

Press the  button to create a forum/category.


I feel totally like an idiot but I tried pressing those buttons...nothing happens.
Nothing is working on that page. 


So I need to go on the forum like other members would to create topics?
Also on "display"...there is no option marked "homepage"

[Ramdaman]

"Homepage" is the category name. Under the homepage box is "Structure and Hierarchy"

Yes, you must create threads like normal members. (We're being belittled!)

Also, can you send me a test account with administrative access via PM?

Thanks.

Hello,

For creating categories and forums, please go to:

1. Administration Panel (advanced mode)
2. General Tab
3. Categories and forums (on the left, under Forum)
4. Click on the add sign ( ) to add a category or forum

In order to get your categories to display, please go to:

1. Administration Panel (advanced mode)
2. Display Tab
3. Structure and hierarchy (on the left, under Homepage)
4. Select 'Split categories on index : Medium'

Awesome..Thanks for the help.  It works. 
Now I can have even more fun re-learning it all.
