Hello Mark,,,

Thanks for your help with the bbcodes... I have started a help forum on my site to of course help others with forums that they will have on my site.

How can I move topics? I of course want them to be in order. When I goto the move topic area, it ask to what forum I want to move it to, but not an option to place them in order.

Looking forward to your reply
thanks
Mike

When moving topic threads, that is correct there is only the option of which forum you are moving the topic to.

Each forum will list topics in the order that they were last replied to.

But, as admin, you have some additional controls to help you order topics.

First you can "Sticky" a thread. This causes it to be ranked above any other threads that are not stickied when browsing the forum listing of threads.

And if you want a specific thread to rank above even the "Sticky" threads, you can designate it as an announcement.

These two options can be found when you are editing the 1st post in a thread...

Mike,

Here are the steps that you can follow to diagnose your HTML issue, that is causing your page to be messed-up and your list to not appear...

- Login to your admin panel and go to the Portal Config section.

- Disable all of the custom areas. (Leave the text, just turn it off.)

At this point your list will be fixed for visitors, but you still need to address the issue...

- One at a time, check each of the custom modules: Enable only one of the modules at a time, and check to see if your page looks okay afterwards. If so, make a note of it, and move on to the next custom module until you checked each one.

At this point you will know which module causes the problem. Leave this module off for a moment, so your list will still work for visitors.

Make a copy of your HTML from the custom area with the problem. Save it on your computer in a file or whatever. Then completely remove the HTML from the one problematic custom area, and also enable it.

At this point all custom modules are enabled, but one is empty.

Next, carefully rebuild your HTML a step at a time. Each time you add something to your custom area, make a new backup copy on your computer. Then if something goes wrong, you have the old HTML to fall back to.

Hey Mike,

It's looking okay now, so no worries hopefully.

If it matters I tend to use FireFox. Sometimes the browsers respond differently to HTML issues, but it looks like you've got it straightened out now.
