Forum Management Not Working
-----------------------------------
Hi all,
after four years I decided to reorganize the structure of my forum on www.arcarussa.it by simply joining some forums or  moving them in different existing categories, but with my great surprise I’ve found out that any change I make is not applied. I tried to create a new forum, to move or delete an existing one, but the result is always the same: apparently everything is ok, as I get the message “The information of Forums and Categories have been successfully updated”, but when I open the forum I don’t see the changes, and everything is as it was. 
The version of IP installed is the 1.1.0.15. Do you have any clue about what could cause such a problem?  
Thank you in advance for your support!

you should think about updating to current version 1.3.0.53a.

since nearly nobody, o nobody uses your version.

I'll surely think it over, but I would like to fix this first.

I have some more information. All the changes I make through the forum administration panel are correctly written in the DB; I checked it with phpMyAdmin. But the forums and categories configuration displayed both in the ACP forum management and in the forum itself is always the same old one. It is as if two database were used, i.e. one for reading and one for writing. Even tried to clean and rebuild cache and to verify/optimize the DB, but nothing changed. 
This is quite odd, isn’t it?

Yes, I cleared the browser cache and even tried with different browsers.
Whatever I do, the forum configuration displayed  is different from that contained in the DB and shown with phpMyAdmin. This is driving me crazy!  :?

[SOLVED] Forum Management Not Working
-----------------------------------
The file "includes/def_tree.php" didn't have write permissions.
Too bad that I didn't know of the existence of this file and what was its use, I would have saved a lot of time!

There are 3 files should be CHMOD 666

Take look in docs/readme_english.html
[code linenumbers=false]Set the permissions to CHMOD 666 to the following files:
    * includes/def_themes.php
    * includes/def_tree.php
    * includes/def_words.php
[/code]

Now think about what "spydie" wrote to you  :mricy:
