"Post new thread" button hidden by "Forum information" section

[Charlie_Brown]

Thanks for the information to be fixed. I doubt we will see a 4.0.6 as it was stated they are aiming the next release to be 4.1?

[Boofo]

Yes, Kevin and I found that a while back. The only fix for now is to enable Quick Navigation.

I hate to ask this question....because I'm going to feel so silly after ya'll tell me...but where in the world is "QUICK NAVIGATION"???

Hello all. This problem appeared on my forum after upgrade 4.0.6. Someone knows how to repair it?

Read my post above yours.

Read my post above yours.

Before I wrote my post I read your post and I tried to do that. This method doesn't work on my forum and problem still exists (even when someone is logged).

These are my notes from when I helped someone fix this issue in a ticket. See if this fixes it:

To fix the New Thread Post hidden behind Forum options

Open the FORUMDISPLAY template and find this near the bottom of the template:

<div id="below_threadlist" class="below_threadlist">
<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink'] AND $show['threadslist']">
<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_bottom"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a>
</vb:if>
<div class="threadpagenav">
{vb:raw pagenav}
{vb:raw forumjump}
</div>
</div>

Change it to this:

<div id="below_threadlist" class="below_threadlist">
<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink'] AND $show['threadslist']">
<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_bottom"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a>
</vb:if>
<div class="threadpagenav">
<vb:if condition="!$pagenav AND !$forumjump">
<span class="pagination">&nbsp;</span>
<vb:else />
{vb:raw pagenav}
{vb:raw forumjump}
</vb:if>
</div>
</div>

That should fix the problem.

That is strange as I don't get that happening on 4.0.6. You are using the default skin?

[Boofo]

I take that back, it does do that on my forums also. I was looking in the wrong place. I thought this was supposed to be fixed for 4.0.6. As I use the Quick Navigation, I didn't see it until I disabled it for testing.

Hi Lynne. Thanks for your reply but I can't find this phrase in the FORUMDISPLAY template (version 4.0.6.)

You are using the default skin?

Yes.

This problem appear in sub-forums which has less then 20 threads.

[Mind11]

I'd like to note, that problem I reported here and in bug tracker for v 4.0.5 and 4.0.6, still appear in v4.0.7. Could you do something with it?

Hi,

I recently purchased and installed the suite 4.0.7. I have this problem with the bottom "Post New Thread" button for people that are not logged in. The "Thread Display Options" bar covers it for more than 50% in both IE8 and Firefox 3.6.10.

I see some "fix" suggestions, but I wonder if this is scheduled to be fixed in some of the new releases.

Thanks
