1.  admin edit toolbar?  do you mean the sp admin bar?  if so, do you have the sp plugin for admin bar active?

2.  to insert images in posts, simply attach them… do you have the sp plugin for file uploader active?

3.  sort of answers #2…  have you enabled uploads?  forum – components – uploads… and for users, given them permission?  the plupload js is not loaded so either not active or no enabled…

1. I am not able to delete a post (I am admin).  I think there is a spanner or wrench icon that is supposed to be there?  I have admin bar plugin active but that only gives me a shortcut button to the admin section of the forum (dashboard).  I think there should be an menu for me to lock, pin, delete or move posts?

I checked permissions (based on your #3) and found the moderator permissions were turned off for some items  – I turned them all on but I still don’t have the ability to moderate a post.

I also added a new permissions set called ‘administrator’ with full access (doesn’t a site administrator have full moderation rights by default?) but I still don’t have moderation.

2 / 3. I found the permissions setting for allowing uploads – they were turned off.  I now have ‘upload attachments’

I am having the same problem as xanderr; I posted a reply in his thread but now it’s gone

The feature that I am missing is the “Open forum toolbar” that Mr. Papa shows in his answer to xanderr (assuming that this is the ‘admin’ tool at allows post deletion, lock, etc).

to moderate posts you need the admin bar plugin or use the forum tools… you have joined another topic with regards to the forum tools so will just leave the discussion in that topic rather than duplicate…

Yes, I had posted a reply there but now the post is gone.  I posted there figuring it would save you answering both of us separately.  Looks like there are a few with this issue.

I have admin bar and permissions set. (I added pics as attachments but they don’t appear to want to upload).

Edit, nope images refused to upload.

here? we get images uploaded here every day… what is the message if they dont upload????

and can you answer the same questions I asked (yes, two of you now)… custom sp theme or stock, unchanged one of ours?

I am using the default theme, nothing changed.  I added a user name with admin rights for you to use, PM sent.

Is this only with IE???  or have you tried other browsers…

wont have a chance tonight… but will forward the pm to andy so he can try if he has time tomorrow..

Same with Firefox.  Probably some dumb setting I am missing but after spending hours on this maybe it’s not me!

it is there for me.
