Can you share the link to your site?

Do you see the Test forum? The new post icon should be relatively in the same position as this website, unless you are using a custom theme.

u/n - user

p/w - useruser

I'm going to take a wild guess and assume someone logged in and changed the password? lol

You'll have to add a forum, to do this.

Admin page > Settings > Forums and click the button labeled "New Forum" and there ya go.

System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format

If you have any easy fixes for this it would be much appreciated. Otherwise I will be consulting my ASP.NET guy as this once again seems a little above my head . . .

This is just a wild stab in the dark, but can you try changing themes and go back into the Admin settings with your Host user account and give it a try? I'd recommend using "So Clean, So Fresh" theme.

I'd try adding another category and try adding another forum, but I'm not confident that'll work. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can help ya.

If you don't have any data, perhaps kill the YAF install and start again?

That would be correct to my understanding.

I believe the pecking order is as follows.

Board > Category > Forum > Topics > Posts

Thats Correct. You Always need a Category first, Thats why it was crashing

In the next Release the "New Forum" Button will be hidden when there is now Category. To Prevent that Problem.
