I have been having this issue for a while also. It works for a while, then disaapears... When I move the forum to a new page, it works again for a while. It isnt the permissions, it is definatly some sort of bug with the forums, as there are about 10 other threads claiming the same thing, and have just been ignored. Can we please get a fix or at least some sort of effort on it.
Crispy, I think we talked in a older forum, but im just going to PM you the log in info to my site where u can see whats happening, and let you go in and look at it, since you seem to be only one remotly interested.
