Missing "New Topic"
Ok, before I ask I want to qualify myself and say that I am very very green to phpBB but I am trying to learn and yes I have searched for a solution to my problem and have yet to find one.
I have setup my site, logged in as a testaccount and opened a forum but there is no "New Topic" or "New Post" button or link in my forum. By default new users should get rights to post new topics shouldn't they or do I have to flip a switch to activate new posts?
Thanks
Rick

Re: Missing "New Topic"

This time I guess it was more than just a feeling Spydie ..I will move and try a sensible reply
Hi joerides,
First of all please post questions about phpbb in the correct section (where your post is now), thanks in advance
Second .. what is your default installed language of your board or the the language you set in your profile, can you maybe post a link to your board or set it in your profile here?
Also what style are we talking about?
Greetings,

Re: Missing "New Topic"
Sorry, I should have said, green to both phpBB and IcyPhoenix but trying to learn I promise. I'm running (trying to run) IcyPhoenix with hInfinity Dark style.
English is the default language and the url is h**p://***.joeridesforum.com/icyphoenix
I've made a few mods but nothing siginificant (I thought) that would block permissions. I promise I'm trying to figure this out and not installing it and then coming here to the forum to be spoon fed every step of the way. With that said, where do I find the setting to change the background to say another image of my choosing?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Missing "New Topic"
to change you´re background image you should go to
templates/your_style/style.css
find something like
body {
background: #ffffff;
/*background: #ffffff url('images/ice/bg_body.gif') top left repeat-x;*/
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0;
padding: 0px 10px 0px;
}
change to
body {
//background: #ffffff;
background: #transparent url('images/your_style/background.gif') top left repeat-x;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0;
padding: 0px 10px 0px;
}
for example.
If you want to use an image that covers the hole site background in one go,
change top left repeat-x; to top left no-repeat;

Re: Missing "New Topic"
On your button problem... I would start by checking if this path exists:
prosilver_ip/images/dark/lang_english
and that this language folder actually contains the images

Re: Missing "New Topic"
hm.
just installed hinfinity on localhost, and I see all bottons.
I checked on you´re site, and it look´s like it´s not rendering the button, nor the link.
funny thing is, the code is there, maybe you go to ACP- Templates and clear the template cache. afterwards compile all.

Well, cleared and recompiled cache and also verified folder path and contents of folder. Everything looks good. I tried to lock/unlock a forum to see if I could fake it out but no luck there either. Any other ideas before I wipe it out and re-install?

Re: Missing "New Topic"
All I can think of is.. try another style (in example default style) and see what happens there, but i noticed Spydie has regged himself at your board so you may want to await his reply (because he's one of the experts ...not me )

Re: Missing "New Topic"

Re: Missing "New Topic"
Well, it's definitely something in the style. I switched back to the default style and the "New Post" button is there and functional. Not sure what I broke and how so I guess I will scratch it all and start over.

Re: Missing "New Topic"
well if default looks fine then you could just remove and reinstall the style only i guess
also a hint on this style you want ... if you change the background colour or pic keep in mind that the corners will start to show because they are black (meaning round corners will look not so round anymore )

Re: Missing "New Topic"
this is , because someone likes to create rounded corners with backgrounds.
I usualy use only transparent or moz
