    Pro Admin Creating subforums below a forum?

    Post by Rondellivey03 August 11th 2017, 3:14 pm

    I'm trying to get the forums to show up like this
    Creating subforums below a forum? H_prosilver_split_0
    but instead it just does something like this 
    Creating subforums below a forum? H_prosilver_split_1

    What I'm saying is I want to make forums listed underneath the main forum as showed in first image, but all it's doing is showing like in the second image..
    you can see the forums if you need to http://avalancheofficial.forumotion.com/

    Also using ModernBB if that helps with anything.

    This is what I have selected from what you've sent me, but it isn't doing anything.

    Did you attach the forum to that to make it a subforum?

    General --> Forum --> Categories and Forums --> Forums (choose one you want make as a subforum) --> Attached to : (forum)

    Hmm... Think I wonder if it has something to do with the new version, ModernBB.

    Do you have a testing account I can use? If so, send it via PM.

    Thank you.

    I guess it doesn't exist on the newest version, which is very inconvenient. Perhaps we should wait until an admin see this so they can assist you further. Sorry I can't be much help.

    Hello,

    Since this is a suspected bug, we want to keep this open until our pro admin can have a look into this on Monday. After that, we will close this for you.

    I've found a temporary solution to the issue, for now I'll just go in the permissions tab of the forum, and set the "View the forum and its messages" option to Administrators only, then after doing that I'd go to the Forum Description part and do something like this.


    Introductions

    Welcome to the forums! Introduce yourself to the community!
    Sub-forums: Leaving


    Announcements

    Get information & announcements by the Forum Management here.
    Sub-forums: Updates, Rules

    and on the blue link looking text is where I would link the hidden forum for the users to be able to access... so for temporarily this could help until the issue is fixed with the ModernBB..
