Hi Rick:
I've done that and they are there.
I was able to cut and paste some data out of them and create new forums but when I do another forum or 2 would disappear.
Now this morning I'm playing with the Forums in the Control panel. I can move some of the entries that get wiped out. I should say whose pointers get wiped out.
It looks like the "enabled" indicator, title, the "order" and description for each of those forums is all that is lost. The posts are all there.
While playing around trying to figure this out, I realized this problems only seems to occur when I used that Category screen in the control panel to assign and order to the "lost" forums is when the problem occurs.
I'm beginning to think the Category Maint screen code is corrupted.
Maybe I'll upload a fresh copy of it from my PC when I get home tomorrow.
What's your thoughts??
And thanks for responding on Mothers' Day.
