I do hope I'm posting this in the right place. It has nothing to do with server issues but it is a tech question.

All of the forums on my board work fine when viewing the Who's Online page. The information I have it set to show, shows. Except for one. I've got a section of forums that have the same permissions and the same settings. But the latest one that was added does not show on the Who's Online page. It always says you're viewing the board index. And also when you're in the forum at the bottom where it says who's viewing it only shows you and no one else...

I have no clue why this is different/messed up. Any ideas would be very awesome because while it's not a huge issue, it's annoying me like really bad...

Thanks in advance!

It would if I knew what to do with this file. :p I'm pretty good, but as far as editing the vb files go, I'm not too bright. I don't understand how this could have been changed between the time I made the first forum and the other one that's messing up. And what in this file exactly would help me get this straightened out? I was hoping it was a simple setting, but it doesn't seem to be.

Please explain it in a bit more detail. :D

Thanks for the really quick response though!

Create a new style with no parent:

Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
Parent Style: No Parent Style
Title: Default vBulletin
Allow User Selection: Yes
Save

Then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

If it is still happening - Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Don't forget that for vbseo, disabling the modification means to also get rid of anything extra you added to your htaccess file.
