Disappearing Discussion

AlisonMooreSmithAlisonMooreSmith
edited July 2006 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
There is a sticky discussion on my message board that SOME users can't see in the Discussions list. Some are still posting, but others can't even see it. It's NOT hidden. I can see it, but when I go to my office computer (in the same network as my home computer) I can't see it either. The role of the viewer has no bearing either. The discussion is here: http://mormonmomma.com/board/comments.php?DiscussionID=18&page=1#Item_7 ANY insights appreciated.

    I see the word "zero" in the upper lefthand corne of the forum page when I go to it. Do you know why that is there?

    No, I don't see that. Can you also see the regular page or just the word "zero"? THANK YOU for looking!

    When I am NOT logged in, I do see the "zero" and also see: Some problems were encountered The requested discussion could not be found. Is there a setting that disallows those who are NOT signed in from viewing discusssions?

    I can see the regular page but with an error that there is something wrong with that discussion. What is the discussion name that has the problem?

    This post is the ONLY one that is not in the general category, but in it's own category, btw.

    I only see the General category. Can you see the other category in admin?
  • Options
    AlisonMooreSmithAlisonMooreSmith
    Yes, in fact anyone who is LOGGED IN can see the other categories from what I can tell. It's only those who aren't logged in that can't see the other category.

    Did you somehow block this category from everyone? In admin, under settings, look at the category in question.
  • Options
    AlisonMooreSmithAlisonMooreSmith
    No, it's not blocked. It has the option to "block category" but is not blocked. I'll try blocking and unblocking to see if it releases it.

    Can you see it now?

    jimwjimw
    No. Do you have it blocked?
  • Options
    AlisonMooreSmithAlisonMooreSmith
    No, I blocked it and the unblocked it again. I have looked at the category settings and can't see anything that would hide a category from those who are not logged in.

    there is a place that says: Roles allowed to take part in this category I have not checked the button for "banned" members. But I assume that "take part" means to post to the discussion. And don't see how this would apply to those who aren't logged in.

    Well, I'm not a member, just browsing and can't see it which is correct. Can you log in as another user and see if you see it?
  • Options

    I can try the admin account. But I DO know that others can see it, as they have been posting to it. And since they can't post unless they are logged in, they must have been logged in. I have no indication that anyone logged in hasn't been able to see it.

    There's only 2 ways that I know of from stopping someone from see a Category. One is that you can Block it from everybody. The other is to only allow certain users to see it.

    This category DOES allow "unauthenticated" users to "participate." The category is not blocked. I don't even know how to seletively allow viewing. Could you tell me how allow only certain viewers to see it? I do know about whisper and hidden. Niether apply in this case.

    Thanks for your help, jimw. Still can't resolve this. Anyone else?

    I haven't read the entire discussion so far, but I'd say it is likely a category/role permission thing. Go into category management and make sure that the roles your regular members are assigned to are allowed to see that category.
