Can't post in a forum section?

[★Slap]

I for some strange reason cannot post in one of my forum sections that i created, now the permissions are say's

Posting Permissions
You may post new threads
You may post replies
You may post attachments
You may edit your posts
BB code is On
Smiles are On
[IMG] code is On
HTML code is Off

I checked the Forum Permissions and no one has been excluded from posting their, I have checked it's parent as well as child forum and everything seems ok but for some reason i still can't post it say's

Sorry! This forum is not accepting new posts.
and when i try to move a forum to that section it says
You have tried to move the thread into a forum that cannot contain posts. Please select a different forum.

I think i should also mention the button where it say's Post A New Thread is repeated twice one button at the top and one at the bottom.

That message is the phrase 'forumclosed' and the code in newthread.php is this:

if (!$foruminfo['allowposting'] OR $foruminfo['link'] OR !$foruminfo['cancontainthreads'])
{
	eval(standard_error(fetch_error('forumclosed')));
}

so if we assume that you have posting permission and the forum can contain threads, that leaves $foruminfo['link']. Did you enter something in forum's "Forum Link" field? (although if you did, that should redirect to the link instead of showng you the forum).

Hi I haven't added anything at all in the Forum Link, I compared the settings with the other forums and are the same.

Oops - when I went back and read your original post again I see you said that when you try to move threads it tells you the forum can't contain posts, so it must have something to do with the value of $foruminfo['cancontainthreads'], but I don't know why that value would be wrong.

Same here it's really weird, I can post in the other forums apart from this one. I know it's not to do with any add-ons because I disabled all of it.

Just to make sure - do you have "Act as Forum" set to "Yes" for that forum? If you do, maybe you could try changing a setting, saving it, then changing it back to make sure it isn't a problem with cached values.

Hey kh99 Thanks so much that sorted the problem, the problem was that I chose "Act as Forum" to No so i set it to Yes and it worked again thanks .
