Dear developers,
how can I go without a top level forum? It all looks very strange. In addition, there are a couples of bugs concerned with it.
1) If you have not created any forums, you can still create threads. However, you will not see them until you create your first (actually top level forum)
2) I created a top level forum and tried to lock it. Then I got the following errors:

* You must enter a thread title
* You must enter a thread body

1: There are settings in the Admin page that should allow you to view the new-thread controls no matter what. Let me know if that helps you, and I'll enable it by default

2: Your module is installed in the wrong location. As of Drupal 5, all user-modules must be installed in /sites/all/modules/, not in /modules. Why this is a problem for UIEForum, I don't know. But the quickest way to fix your problem is to disable uieforum, move the module to the correct directory, then re-enable it

Hi Zoro,
thank for the hint regarding the location of the modules in Drupal 5.x. It helped greatly. Yet, I cannot disable the upper level forum properly. I can only disable posting to this server by "locking" this forum. In that, the server appear in the bottom with the label: "Posting not allowed". If I disable access to this forum, the access to child forums is also disable? Is there any nice workarounds of this problem except hacking the code of the forum?

i have uieforum installed in the correct place, yet the permissions and the top level forum are broken.

i've disabled the forum, uninstalled it, reinstalled it and the same thing happens. when i do a fresh reinstall there are no permissions under the "access controls" secction of the top level -- it's blank.

any ideas?

i'm running Drupal 5.3 and the Dec 13th version of UIEForum.

thanks a bunch in advance!
