Hello everyone,
I have somewhat of a serious technical issue on my hands here. My forum at http://xtremedivision.team-talk.net has recently been closed off due to a major re-purposing - it used to serve as a clan forum for a MMORPG but that idea has collapsed - and now I have re-opened as a private forum it but something unexpected came up.
When any of our members try to post or open a topic, in any part of the forum, they get the message "Sorry, but only Administrators can reply to posts in this forum.". Both regular members and moderators get this error. I am currently the only one who can write anything (being the only admin). Imagine that! I have no idea what might be causing this, but will try to describe my past actions here. Something must have led to this.
The only major things I've done is uploading new images for categories and icons, changing the forum adress, changing the names of some users (a simple change from ex. "Kingmaker222" to "Kingmaker") and that's mostly it. I don't know if this last one might be causing this error.
I assure you that I have double-checked the categories & forums Permissions options. All the presets are set to Members, and the advanced options are also all OK. Only Guests shouldn't be able to view or post.
What bothers me most is that I haven't been poking around the permissions since the last time everything worked - so I see no reason why everything shouldn't continue to work. Please someone help me, I have no where else to turn to.
