Hey Debby,

It’s a little hard to give you a definitive answer for this one straight away. When you say you have checked the settings and everything is OK, what settings are correct?

It definitely sounds like a permissions issue so before digging deeper, could you just verify that the forum in question has the correct permissions set in place, and that the member is part of the correct corresponding usergroup?

Hey, sorry for the late reply!

Best thing to do is, as Steve said – take a look in their profile. Forget about admin side for a minute – find the user on your forum, click on them to get the profile popup, view full profile, then at the top of their profile you should see ‘edit profile’.

From there, you can click ‘Permissions’. This gives you a list of all your forums, just need to then find the one in question, click ‘View’ and see if they have access, but do take a screenshot of that and post it here.

No need to re-size either (even the last ones are very hard to make out!)

OK, well that’s fine – clear as day!

So it does appear that this specific user hasn’t got the right permissions to view this forum. So first thing to check is the forum, then the user.

Check what permissions sets the forum has from the admin panel. Forum > Forums > Manage Groups and Forums. Find the forum in question and click ‘Forum Permissions’ to see what permission sets are in play.

You should see here that you have the usergroup and the permission, so it should be pretty easy to see whether their group has access.
