[quake3] New forums?

[Jorge Peña]

Just go to the forums tab. Then Manage Forums on the left. Afterwards, type
the name in the textbox in the bottom, then click the Create New Forum
button. This will take you to a page which allows you to configure that
forums settings. Make sure you select the correct Parent Forum. Fill in the
forum name, description, and any other thing you'd like to set. Since you
most likely already set the correct permissions for the forum you already
have (*Unless that's supposed to be some type of parent forum*), then in "Copy
permissions from:" make sure you select that forum, so that you wont have to
manually go to the permissions page of the forum to configure the
permissions. This could be why it's not showing up for you, the permissions
are probably set so that no one or you can't see the forum (*Also when you
create the forum make sure to go over every option to make sure you don't
accidentally make it hidden*). This might sound really cumbersome but you
have to realize that after you get this down, it's really simple to do over
again.

I know it's sometimes annoying to have things not function the way you'd
expect them too (*Though to many of us think that this is pretty
straightforward*). This should solve your problem, and also spend some time
just browsing through the administration panel to get a good feel for it.
Just give it a chance though, don't drop it over something so minimal, the
phpBB3 ACP is really powerful.
