Arvens I was trying to make a boardfor my website with invisionfree I've created the new categorys and some forums but they don't appear on the board.. you were right I'm totally lost in that page.. what do I have to do for the forums to appear?

Try this:

Go to the Control Panel and under "Forum Control" on the left there is a link called "Manage Forums". Click that and once inside you should see all the forums and categories you have created. Click on "Settings" and the second box down says "Forum State" and it must say 'Active' otherwise nobody will see it. Set it to active and save changes and you should see the forums.

Can I have a link to it so I can see how it's coming along?

Sure.. I'm not gonna change it from the default form cause I don't know anything about CSS and it's gonna be an unvisited forum.. since my web site isn't that popular...

I've checked and they're all active, yet they don't appear on the main page.. when I click in the categores this message appears:

"Sorry, some required files are missing, if you intended to view a topic, it's possible that it's been moved or deleted. Please go back and try again."

That's all I can think of....I'm not sure why you're getting errors like that. :unsure:

Did you touch any of the css coding? Maybe you accidentally deleted something that was necessary?

Nope I don't think so.. I'll try to put that one down and start new.. I basically just made new categorys and then put some forums.. nothing else

I've made a new board and now it woorks!!

If you want to go there and post the url is this: http://s6.invisionfree.com/YellowRabbit/

It's not much, I stook with the default graphics and all that... but I dought this board will have any access since most of the people in my class aren´t "board" warms =p Anyway if you want to post there and say what you think about the site I'd apreciate it (=

(Sorry if I over excessed the publicity =P)

I don't understand why your first attempt didn't work. :huh: Looks like you got the basic ideas down. I don't know how personal you want to make that board or if you just like those default settings and colors....

Not really they're a bit lame.. but I'm gonna bother with it since in about a month the people that are going there now will get bored and then that will probably die out... \: Anyway this is just for people to post stuff since a lot of them told me that the site was to dull it didn't have anything that was constantly changing and interesting.. so some of them told me to put a forum their so I did... it's just to keep people interested in the site

Not a bad idea....perhaps I should make a suggestion place for landbeforetime.org....

Yup... that would be great
