[Solved] Categories in DropDown aren't selectable?*

JamesWoods

Hi people,
Just installed my first Vanilla forum and I am having a problems with it.
Created few categories and tried to create my first discussion.

The problem is I can see categories in drop-down menu but I can't select any of them.
It looks like they are inactive.

I have Version 2.1 installed.
Here is a link with screenshot - http://rghost.net/56450246.view

Welcome to the community!

Do you have permission to add discussions to those categories?

I am logged on as admin. Do I need to set spesicif permission for each category and every user?

slightly different permissions in 2.1

I am logged on as admin. Do I need to set spesicif permission for each category and every user?

there is a super-admin - generally the first created user upon install - the name you gave during install process and typically user id # 1

Every other user created after that follows the role that was assigned, so if you created a user who is admin and gave it the role admin - you would follow exactly what permission are given in the admin role of the dashboard. All users created after install follow what role you assign them and the permission for the role. Giving the role admin signifies nothing other than it follows the assigned permissions you have given that role.

e.g. cutom category permissions.

slightly different permissions in 2.1 vs. 2.0 - but the same gist of things.

Go to Dashboard - Forum - Categories, and make sure that

Display root categories as headings

is not checked.
