Hi,
I have activated the latest version of Simple:Press in my Wordpress installation and the links in the menu on the left work, but the links on the admin pages don't, so I can't do anything like create a user group...
Please help - I have set today aside to get the forum running but can't even make a start. 
Thanks!
Clare
Oh dear... this is rare in the admin but most usually is caused by a conflict causing the Ajax calls to fail. Do you know how to use the script console that comes with modern browsers? We can usually track these things down to another plugin that is loading scripts by bypassing the WordPress API and protocols.
If you know how to use the script console then open the admin forum page - clear the console - and then click on a link. If there is a problem then you should see an error condition reported in the console. Come back and let us know what the text is...
Hi Yellow Swordfish - thanks for the response.
I used the 'web console' in Firefox and it gave the output below - does that help at all?
I have to put it in several replies because it exceeds the max 10 links allowed!
Thanks!
Clare
