Apparently there is an edit function that I do not have.  I would like to delete sample posts.

 

Also, when a guest tries to register, he is taken to the "registration policy" page.

 

I've been doing so much experimenting prior to setting up my actual forum, that perhaps I've messed up the program. Would any of the "tools" help here? I think I'm probably better off uninstalling the program and database tables, and starting over again  If that doesn't work, then it's two strikes and your're out.  It shouldn't be this difficult.

So what are saying? When you hover the mouse cursor over the topic listing or post listing do not get the toolset icon appear on the left hand side? if you don't then your site probably has a scripting issue. And if this is the case then they can usualy be sorted out.

Also, when a guest tries to register, he is taken to the "registration policy" page.

And what? You don't want that? You must have turned that option on in the policy documents admin panel.

So if that is two strikes then I guess it was nice talking to you.

I did a complete reinstall and now find that my WP theme is restricting the toolbox function when hovering over a topic.  My theme is Socrates, which has a hefty following.  When I switch back to Twenty Ten, the tool box appears and functions properly.

Please advise as to what adjustments to make.  If this is an issue with the Socrates theme, then it is likely a problem with others.  Still only one strike...  There's still hope.

hope for whom?

Sounds like your theme probably has a classic case of loading jQuery incorrectly without using the WP APi to ensure that other plugins that use those libraries work correctly.

If I had a link to your forum page i could probably determine that pretty quickly.

I found this in the Socrates Theme Forum and deleted the line below in the theme header.php.
 
SP appears to function correctly now.  Did I do the right thing?
 
 
Did they specify what the problem was? My guess is that it's because we're calling Google's jquery..

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js (http://www.socratestheme.com/f.....ery.min.js)"></script>

You can remove this from your header and see if it solves.
