It is documented in the bug list and, unfortunately, was one of the bugs not fixed in 1.0.4.

There is a fix available though although I believe FXstein is still testing the performance penalty that comes with it.

I'll post the link in a minute.

It requires a small "hack" in post.php which is described in this post:

www.bestofjoomla.com/component/option,co...limitstart,90/#24828

Make sure you only edit post.php though fireboard.php is already corrected.

Edit: Actually nevermind I should learn to read. I'll have a look at this bug tommorow.

If you look into the #__fb_sessions table you will notice that only the main categories are listed in there not the child forums or their category numbers. I added one of the childform categories numbers by hand and it was working.

I have 28 child boards on the site right now. There is a distinct possibility that I'll have to add more as the forum traffic picks up. Is there an easier way than editing the session table to enter each separate child board by hand?

I don't see what to edit in the database. Please give more details.

Its not a solution, cause when the session resets everything is gone again. The problem is that the session only stores allowed boards for the current level.

If you go one level deeper you will see that the child board get added to the allowed_forums and the mainlevel boards dissapear. hence you only see the childboard latest posts when you use the func=latest in a childboard.

Sorry if my description isn't very clear.

Edit: Try go on your board as guest you will see latest post from childboards then. (if they are public)

So, there is nothing we can actually do at this point? Just keep waiting? Looks like we're gonna have to dig into this and find a fix ourself.

It might be very clear. But, it is over my head and skill level. I can't afford to go mucking around in the database, especially if it is not a real fix. And, I don't know enough about php to write a hack.

I'm willing to live with the problem right now. It does cause my members to miss follow-up posts. I sometimes have to email them to read the forum. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your perspective ), I don't have many members yet.

I'll probably have a fix tommorow if not tonight.

A real fix would be good. The 'fix' that racoon posted didn't help.
