What forum structure are you trying to use for Articles Forum?

[Sweeks]

It is a forum not a category which has denied all permissions subforums under it which arent used and that is all It has around 100 threads in it too. Its set to act as forum and all the regular setup.

Sorted now, had to comment out the navbar in articles.php

[Sweeks]

Is there any way so I can have the articles display within a normal looking forumdisplay and then on the showthread keep the article layout etc? Im not too keen on the main articles.php page.

Thanks

disable forumdisplay plugins:

Article Forum (forumdisplay_complete)

Edit Show Thread (showthread_complete)

PHP Code:

if ($articleforum)
{
eval('$SHOWTHREAD = "' . fetch_template('SHOWTHREAD') . '";');
$SHOWTHREAD = str_replace($vbphrase[thread], $vbphrase[article], $SHOWTHREAD);
$SHOWTHREAD = str_replace("newthread.gif","newarticle.gif", $SHOWTHREAD);
print_output($SHOWTHREAD);
}
