Moderator’s note: Split from this thread.

I am experiencing the same issues here at the moment and discussion forums updated to 2.1.2

Can you be a bit more specific? What, exactly is not working? What version and build of both EE and the forum module are you using?

I’ve actually experiencing this weird issues with user permissions, I’ve setup as all the above correctly and yet they couldn’t see the forum category…

I’ve used:

ExpressionEngine 1.6.7 - © Copyright 2003 - 2008 - EllisLab, Inc.
Script executed in 0.0953 seconds   7 SQL queries used
Build:  20090211

ExpressionEngine Discussion Forum - Version 2.1.2 (20090723)

larrya121,

There are permission settings for both forums and categories.

Can you confirm you have both set correctly?

Yes John, both set correctly… that’s why I get so confused…

larrya121,

can you attach a screenshot of your permissions for both the forums and the category. Are the forums and category ‘live’ or ‘hidden’?

Also have you got a link to your forum?

Please see attachments:

And here’s how it looks like when user william_pku (under infokom group) login into the forum…

larrya121,

You have attached the screenshots for the Forum permissions, but there are also permissions for the Category, which you would get to clicking the permissions link in the dark grey.

the middle and the widest size attachment one is actually the category permission, i forgot to mention it

larrya121,

the middle and the widest size attachment one is actually the category permission,

The category permission table should only have 2 columns as per my last screenshot.

Make sure to click the permissions link in the dark grey.

Sorry I missed that one out but here’s the screenshot

larrya121, please check your email.

Hi John, I have just replied back and filled out the form as mentioned in the email… 😊

Thank you for following this up..

larrya121,

OK I had a look around and everything seems fine. I logged in as member wiliam_pku as you used in your example and attached is what I see which is exactly the permissions you set.
