a floating board

sviridovt · January 13, 2011, 01:27:11 AM

Hello, I dont know if this should be placed in conversion board or not, so if it is, then please move

I just moved to smf from mybb (well actually its just a test for 1 week) there is a board in there that after conversion is not under any category and cant be controlled/deleted from Admin CP. In MyBB it was a sub forum and it was the only sub forum on the whole forum. take a look at it here: forum.svitech.net

I am using SMF 2 RC4

Thanks, Tim

Its right below SVITech category board name is suggestions

that is a board in a category with no title.

Looks like a separate Category with no title to me, not a board.

I cant control it thru admin cp and can you even create a board without title? (a noob question but I am pretty new to SMF)

I have not a clue. This may be a stab in the dark but have you tried resetting the theme? Admin/Themes-Layout/Theme Settings/Attempt to reset all themes. Them maybe clear the site cache.

Uuh, delete the category and start a new one? Are you able to do that? Read this: Boards

Seeing that you have no posts in the "Suggestions" Board, it shouldn't be a problem deleting this category.

I mean of what you're seeing on your "Boards" section of your administration.

This seems like the category table is broken. That category has no ID, no name which is pretty much impossible IMHO. Try to go in Admin>Maintenance and Find and Repair Errors. If that fails, go to your board index, then into Admin>Maintenance and then Logs, post us the Error ones.

thanks, it worked! sorry for being such a noob at this, I just switched from MyBB with very limited SMF experience

Ahh, that's the solution. Thanks [SAP]Francis! I'll mark this topic solved.
