I ran the first query from your last post with no errors in my phpmyadmin.
It's still not showing up, lol .... on the bright side, I also ran the new fix script you made, and it cleared up that other issue ... at least it's progress, right?
Can you tell me specifically what code I need to look for to confirm that option that should be in forum home page settings?
I am going to re-check my code again, just to be extra, extra sure I have it all right ... would it help if I attached any of those .php files for you to look at yourself? If you want to check any of them just tell me which ones you need.
