This issue is usually coursed by a permissions or configuration issue as have seen this before.

If the permissions can not be mapped to the forum beceuase of the way the forums are read in for maximum performance they will not show if there is a mapping issue. Resubmitting the permissions resets them and usually sorts the problem out.

The other course of this problem is if you have not correctly set the Category and Forum order in the admin area. Each forum and category needs to have a correct order number, duplicates or incorrect order configuration can course issues.

Tried that but still no luck Confused. Any other suggestion? why this would be happening? This is really surprizing. Even if it was a permission issue why would the forum topic be visible in the "Forum Jump" option and not on the main forums page?

Sounds like a permissions issue. You should go into the admin area and reset the permissions for the forums.]]> Sun, 17 Feb 2008 17:59:39 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/forums-auto-hide_topic25304_post131435.html#131435 <![CDATA[Forums auto hide : Hey Bruce,Thanks for your reply,...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/forums-auto-hide_topic25304_post131423.html#131423 Author: JustAnotherNut

Hey Bruce,
Thanks for your reply, but I guess the 'Show Topics from xxx time' was not exactly what I am looking for. Here is the problem.
There are some forums on my page that have no topics (since the forum is new). These forums are not seen from the main page(suddenly, as in they were visible few days back), though I have created them and I see them from the control panels forum management area as well as the "Forum jump" option placed on the topics page.
Please check out the behavior of the same at our forum site. Anyway, to tackle this situation I have created new blank topics with just a "." as subject and hid them (for the time being unless I get a solution for the same).

Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Are you refering to the topic not showing.

If so there is a drop down at the top of the page displaying the topics which says 'Show Topics from xxx time' if you change this to 'Any Date' it will display all topics in that forum.

You can change the default range to 'Any Date' in the admin area by editing the forums and setting the default date for showing topics.

Recently we launched our forum and within like a months time or something, some of the forums were not getting seen from the main forums page. We tried a work around to make them visible. What we did was we added a topic and then set the visibility to hidden. Now that sure made the topics visible but I doubt if this is a better alternative to this workaround.
Has anyone encountered this 'forum auto hide' error before? Is there a solution to it.

Thanks in advance people.
