Hello, I've recently noticed that I can't see some of the subforums. It isn't a masking issue, it seems that the last subforum in the ordering just doesn't show. I'm an Admin and tried several masks, but it still hides them. I can see the Subforum in the Subforum links below the Forum description though and I have full access to it if I enter via there.

For example

Category:
Forum: Example
Description
Subforums: 1, 2, 3


If I go into the Forum, I can't see number 3. People with the same masks as me can and I tried another account, it seems like a bug or computer error, but I have no idea what the problem is :blink:

If other people with the same mask as you have tried it (and it worked), then it probably is on your end. Have you tried the simple debug steps like 1. Close and Reopen the browser, 2. Reboot, or 3. Try a different browser.

Tried all of that before hand, but no change. I'm not sure what it could be on my end.. what would do that?

Have you tried using a different Browser?

EDIT: Apparently I can't read.

I've tried both FF and IE ;) for further clarification

It seems unlikely (because the problem is in multiple browsers) but it could be scripts. Try disabling the scripts on your board to see if it has any effect.

Also, make sure the members of your board are informed, and have any of them that encounter this problem contact you with the details (which forum(s), browser, installed add-ons/extensions, etc.).

Finally, if you want anyone here to be able to take a closer look, you will have to enable guest access/provide an account for us to do so.

Now I did some messing around and I think I figured out the problem. The forum I had problems with had a subforum that I wasn't supposed to see. If I allow myself to see that subforum, I can see the subforum I couldn't get to show up before. The other admin didn't have this problem because he had access to the subforum of the subforum. The problem now is that people who aren't supposed to see the private subforum can't see the public subforum it it is in.

Any ideas why? I've checked a ton of times and I have access to the main subforum, but it doesn't show up unless I give myself access to the private subforum within it.

Also even if I just allow people the ability to see the private forum (not read post etc) they can see the forum that should be public

It sounds like someone's going to have to look at your Admin CP to figure this one out. You should send a support ticket.

I had the exact same problem on a board i used to be an admin on. I, as well as every other staff member (staff members had access to every subforum in every forum), could see every subforum in every forum, but members without access to some of them were encountering random annoyances, such as some subforums not showing up if the forum had a lot of subforums (read: more than five) or posts from one subforum appearing in another one in the "latest post" thingy.

That board was converted from IF to ZB. The two forums i'm running now, both of which were created as ZB forums, don't have this problem. I'm pretty sure it's an unsolved upgrade issue.

Incidentally, the problems came on and off randomly and sometimes we appeared to be able to remove them by modifying some of the css (if i remember correctly; it did happen months ago, after all) but they would come back later. I can't remember whether they were ever solved on that board.

My board has always been Zeta so I'm not sure about upgradable issue, but nevertheless I figured out a way around it. As long as the forums are viewable it doesn't seem to act up.

I opened a support ticket and they fixed it pretty quickly. Not sure what was wrong, but they know how to fix it for future reference.
