Hi,

I was trying to rearrange the structure of my MyBB forum site and I screwed up and do not know how to fix it. I am hoping some one in the community will know what I have done wrong and can provide a solution, I am betting it is not that hard to fix < I just cannot seem to figure the fix out.


The following is how the forum looks like right now (@ http://thewatchtowers.com/forums/index.php)


FORUM

Commentary Corner
The Word
Sub Forums: General Discussion
1,165 3,658 Iceland says it was "bull...

General Discussion

CLOSED CHAMBERS
Forum is Locked THE HUB


I want it to look like this:
----------------------------------------------------
FORUM
General Discussion
Commentary Corner
----------------------------------------------------
CLOSED CHAMBERS
Forum is Locked THE HUB



I want to copy the sub forum General Discussion and place it right under "FORUM" followed by "Commentary Corner" Under it, them delete the sub forum from the list

"General Discussion" is now a Sub Forums of Commentary Corner... I somehow changed it like that,.... it was on the top of the list before I started. Of course I have to preserve all the posts and permissions.

Where I got turned around was when it kept on telling me that I needed to specify a parent forum... I though "FORUM" was a parent forum.. As well there is the order numbers. I looking in the Wiki but I am unable to get what they are for and how to change them and why. As it is they are all numbered "1" one in the Control Panel.


Thanking the community in advance for the support.
If you give me admin permissions, I can fix it for you. Just that'd be easier than describing how to do it that's all.

I truly appricate it!

How did you do it?

I know it was prolly easier to just do than explain but if you could....

I thought "FORUM" was a parent forum

'FORUM' is a category, and General Discussion and Commentary Corner are forums. When you create any more forums, select the Parent Forum as FORUM unless you want it to be a sub-forum.

BTW please can you give me + rep? Smile
