    I’ve just installed the Discussion Forum module for a client am I am having issues with the basic set up.

    I’ve created a new Forum Board but am unable to get any further with the set up because there is no “Add a New Category” link anywhere for me to set up my categories as per the set up instructions here:
    http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/forum/forum_setup.html

    I’ve attached a screen shot of what I see.

    I urgently need some help with this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Hi dragonhiro,

    If you click on the Forum Management tab, do you see an Add Category button? See the screenshot I attached.

    Thanks Brandon

    I wasn’t seeing those buttons at all!

    In the end I had to uninstall the module, install it again and start the set up process from scratch at which point those buttons showed up and I could do everything I needed to.

    Ah, okay. Perhaps a browser issue? Well, in any case, glad you’re up and running! Don’t hesitate to start a new question.
