Hi guys - I ran a vB board a number of years back, but looking on the demo board now - wow so much has changed. I hope I am in the correct section to ask these points
TBH I am trying to decide between setting up a new board using vB - or using phpBB (yeah I know lol). I do prefer vB - so .....
I have been playing on the demo site and created several what you now call channels as a forum tree - BUT they do not appear when I go the demo forum home page. Instead I get a message saying this board has no forums ..
Is this a restriction on the demo site, or am I doing it wrong ? It is way different to how I recall it. Permissions etc all look correct so I am hoping this is just a demo restriction or I am really confused.
Second question: On my previous boards, it was possible to overview PM's sent within the site. I get the privacy issue and it was not something I would want to use in general terms. On one occasion though this was very useful and I was able to assist the police in identifying an issue that arose. I cannot see that facility on the demo site - is this something that vanished, or again is it a restriction on the demo site
Thankyou for any input
