what does ‘all the rights’ mean…  there are, I think, three permissions that deal with deleting..  which does this user have?  and how are you trying to delete the post (which of the 2 UI methods)?  and what happens?  and running 5.4?

I have created a group called ‘Contributor’ – a contributor can add posts , as a contributor (not admin) , ance I just added this

http://theblackpigsdomain.com/forum/pics-non/fishing-boat/ –

However  once the post has been submitted I’m unable to login and edit it.

In addition as a ‘Guest’ I can view it but the ‘X’ to close it is not working

The key are the permissions assigned to that user group within the specific forum. The permissions control what you can and can not do so you need to check what permission set you have assigned to that user group (in the specific forum) and then look at the permissions that are and are not granted – in the Manage Permission forum admin section..

Thanks that’s fixed but what about this X on pop up picture as guest ? 

If it has vanished then it is most likely some sort of styling conflict with the CSS from your WP theme. I would need to see one so I can look at the styling being applied. Can I have a link to one I can look at while a guest?

I meant – can you give me a link to a specific forum post with an image in it…

Sorry – http://theblackpigsdomain.com/forum/desktop-wallpapers/some-painted-wallpapers/

??? I see no images – just a list of titles of images. And when I look at the code being generated it tells me that your server failed to load the image files.

How did you place these ‘image’ files into the forum post?

And if i DO click on one – the popup opens and it does have an X in the top corner but the styling of the background is seeping over the top of the popup window. Are you using some other sort of Lightbox type WP plugin?

Using Plupload – Not using a Lightbox type plugin, could it be the theme?

The link I gave you brings up twelve thumbnails

no it doesnt…  the image urls cannot be found… example http://theblackpigsdomain.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-image-uploads/the-black-pig/2014/01/Product-1.jpg

does not work…

so if you think the image is really there, you might have an permissions issue on your server and that location is not web accessible…  typically this is an issue with sp-resources or lower… on some servers, due to restrictions, they get created incorrectly…

can you verify the permissions of sp-resources and forum-image-uploads?  they should match wp-content… also verify the owner (uid and gid)… again should match wp-content…

might also check forum – integration – storage locations and see if that page thinks the storage location is valid…

on your server, what is your php setting for allow_url_fopen?

as to the lightbox effect, is this the default theme or have you made changes?? if latter, please check http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/installation/changes/theme-and-templates-5-3-0/ the section on popup dialogs…
