hi .. i have gone through all the setting twice and can’t seem to find the issue ..
admin can see and access forums but members can’t??
it is for the games2focus form ..
this website
http://classes.dogwooddogtraining.com/
here is class page
http://classes.dogwooddogtraining.com/classes/games2focus-class/g2f-classroom/
do you need admin info or do you have it still ..
thanks for your help .. 
looking at the forum user information .. for some reason people that join the class are not added to the games2focus group in the forum???
Is it correctly mapped in the forum admin > user groups > map users to user groups?
yes as far as i can see … last one on list … i didnt catch it the first time through but did update today when i was going through all the setting …
it shows other classes have users …
wow .. it didn’t have users and now it has 1 .. this person just joined …
so how do i add the others???
there is about 35 people
