Jetjockey Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Hello. Right, I'm trying to use the newly hosted forums today to try and get advice on which VM template to use and how to configure it to run Linux Mint. However..... it appears I can only create a post in certain forum areas? When I attempt to select the area I want to post in such as VM template forum, that choice is greyed out, as are several other forum areas. Does anybody have any ideas why that should be? This appears to happen when using the "Create" button at the top of the screen. What's the difference between that and the "Start Topic" button? If I navigate to any forum that is "Greyed out" under the "Create" drop down menu, then there is no "Start Topic" selection available. Is this due to the new Web host migration? Oh, and another one! Why when editing a post (as I'm doing now) am I confronted with an "Edit Topic" button? What happened to the simple "Save" button? Thanks.

Jetjockey Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Hello again. Im still having no joy posting in certain areas but cannot seem to find out why. A quick example is the VM Template forum, I can read the posts but cannot start a post/create topic. Anybody have any ideas please? Quote Link to comment

Jetjockey Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Still Can't post in "VM Templates". At the main page the Green Balloon next to "VM Templates is greyed out. When i enter that particular forum the "Start Topic" button is just not there. Is it something i've done? Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Sorry, our theory was that VM Templates would be like Docker Containers in that only template authors should be able to create threads there, but given that there are no VM template authors other than LT today and the word template could be interpreted as just the XML schema or a pre-configured vdisk, it probably makes sense to grant all users posting ability in that subforum. Will update now. Edit: You should now be able to create new topics in the VM Templates subforum. Quote Link to comment
Jetjockey Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Thank you. I got the impression that it might be restricted access. All is now working. Quote Link to comment
