Drupal 5.3

I just can't figure out what is not right.

I have two forums - one container. When I select "Create content > Forum" or navigate to /forum then hit create topic then I _don't_ have the drop-down to select what forum the post is to go in.

If I create a post - then - it is not attached to any of the created forums (I have _no_ idea where it goes - I can only find it in Admin > Content or directly on the node id.

What could I have wrong? Works fine on other 5.3 sites I run. Very confused.

I have the same issue. I did install OG_forums but have tried to uninstall it. I have also uninstalled and re-installed forums but no luck. I am running 5.2 not 5.3

I think i fixed it by adding a record in the vocabulary_node_types table. If you look at term_data you can find the name of your forum container. The vid associated with that entry should be the vid in the node_types_table along with name of the forum node type ("forum"). So for me I inserted a record of (4, 'forum'). Also check the vocabulary table and there should be a forum entry with the same vid (name = 'Forums'). Lastly I think there is also an entry in the variable table like 'forum_nav_vocabulary', s:1:"4" I am guessing the number 4 here is the vid, but I am just guessing.

Hmm.

In vocabulary the vid (vocab id) for Forum is 1.

In term_data - I have two terms with that vid - each have a tid (term id) and title.

It seems that the missing data is the vocabulary_node_types table - nothing attaching forum type to vid 1 there. I added this and now I get to choose a forum when posting :)
