Hi, I am the Admin of the above forum. I have either gotten really stupid, or something is missing where we can post to this forum. I would like to resurrect this forum which hasn't been used for a couple of years. Has the ability to post to this forum been withdrawn?

 A, We would not know that! "We have no power over the settings on this forum."

I am not the original creator/owner, but have Admin functions transferred to me and, in the past I used that functionality quite a bit.

Please look at the forum https://pensacoladaily.forumotion.com/ and tell this dummy how to make a post. I don't see any place where I can initiate a post. I have looked at the forum in my normal user login and in my Admin login, but can't seem to figure out what's wrong... or what's wrong with me, lol

I'll be happy to make and needed changes in the Administration Panel that are needed.

Hello

Go to admin panel.. general.. forum...configuration
And check if the forum is set on holidays

by Liquorish Fri 21 Feb - 18:23

That seemed like a good idea, but Holidays was checked No. Also, it wasn't set for construction. And I can reply to posts and a user saw my reply and started a new topic... something I cannot seem to do. There are no New Topic Buttons and only a sliver of a reply box at the bottom.

Clear your browser cookies and retry

Also check if the buttons urls are valid links maybe its a broken image the issue

by **Ape** Fri 21 Feb - 21:13

Please look to see if you have a image for your post buttons here.

 Admin Control Panel settings
ACP >> Display tab >>
Down the left and side >> Pictures and Colors >> Pics management >> Advanced Mode.

Click the buttons tab and you will see

make sure you have an image there if it's photobucket or tinypic you will need to change the button to something else as we no longer support the two image hosts.

What device and browser are you using? Make sure that your browser is up to date.

by Liquorish Sat 22 Feb - 19:03

I am using Chrome 80.0.3987.116, but I tried Firefox and Edge with the same results. Emptying cache didn't help, but I haven't done anything maintenance-wise for a long time and the tinypic/photobucket images may be the problem. Funny, one user logged in and started a new post. Heck, I can't even do that. I inquired how he did it, but he hasn't responded. I just wanted to know if he saw stuff I couldn't see.

I see the captu223.png stuff and will work on getting them implemented. I will let you know how things work out. I appreciate your help.

Have you tried contacting the founder?

by **brandon_g** Sun 23 Feb - 19:12

Can you check what Ape pointed out to see if there is an image for 'New Topic' in the Admin Panel?

by **SLGray** Sun 23 Feb - 21:21

The topic starter stated that another member started a topic so there must be an image for it.

Yes the topic is from early 2019, but that doesn't the image couldnt have broke between now and then.

by **SLGray** Mon 24 Feb - 20:26

I thought the topic starter meant the topic was started recently.

by **Ape** Mon 24 Feb - 21:01

If you like i can link on the forum and take a look for you but you will need to send me a PM with a test account with admin rights then i can take a look at what the problem is for you.

If that's ok please PM me the test account info (PM only NOT in public )

by **Ape** Tue 3 Mar - 14:22

@Liquorish Is this problem now sorted out ?

If solved please tell us by pressing the mark as solved button found at the top of this topic ?

if not solved i have gave you the offer to log in as a admin on a test account and see if i can find the problem.

all you have to do is pm me with the test account you have to make then i will do the rest.
