Can't create new forums

Post by rachelpoo »

After initially setting up categories and forums about a month ago, members have requested a couple more. When I go into admin/forum management and type in the title I want, when I hit the button nothing happens. I can edit forums, move them up and down, etc... but not create them. Any idea what's buggin?

Thanks

I enter the title for either a new forum or new cat, hit the button and it goes nowhere. It doesn't look like it's even attempting to go anywhere. Pushing the button does nothing. I thought it might be my browser, so I tried it on my linux machine and it did the same.

Thinking, I have one of those bear minimum chat boxes (entername/enter chat) in one of the forum descriptions. Could that be causing it? I'll try removing it and see.
