Posts: 33 3-Nov-09 2:21 PM	Tags : move, restore I have been elected, by the Owner, and his Administrator to restore a forum or sub-forum that was deleted by an Administrator. (One of them made me an Administrator as well) I don't even know the difference between the two, other than the fact (I think) the Forum is likened to a Parent (?). I do not now how to make either. Let alone restore one or the other. Or move the restored Forum, or sub-forum. Or even if any of this is possible. I am using XP in a W6409 E-Machine, and Internet Explorer 8 as my Browser. I do not know what the other Administrator uses (the one who deleted the Forum, Sub-Forum, or Category). The problem is in the Communities Logs , located here: http://christiansvsnonchristians.yuku.com/log/view/scope/domain This is what was deleted as recorded in the logs: 31-Oct-2009 07:51 AM ----box Changed ---Deleted Forum etc. etc. (However, there is no [restore] listed there, or none I can find. What the Admin was trying to accomplish was move the Forum (probably a sub-forum, or both) to the bottom of the page. I could not find an "add category" in the very top of the logs page. I don't know if a new Category was even required I did read all Yuku Support forums pages concerning Forums, and sub-forums...I don't think any addressed our problem. (I did find I could "drag and drop" various forums and sub-forums in my own Yuku Community, rather than take a chance of messing up theirs. the "Restore" procedure is what has me puzzled more than anything else) If this is still unclear, please tell me what other information you need me to provide you to help me solve our problem. gamal.u Last Edited By: gamal 3-Nov-09 2:24 PM.

ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 13731 13-Nov-09 6:30 PM Yuku Help	Hi Gamal, We don't have a specific tutorial on restores (but I'll add it to my list to make one) You are already in the right location (the log). When there is no restore option, it means that the forum has already been restored, once a forum is restored, the restore option goes away. (two forums were restored the day you posted this topic) There seems to be a log of deleting and restoring of forums going on at that board, please ask the owner or admins to only delete when they are certain they no longer wish to use the forum and its contents. While 99% of the restores happen without a glitch, there is always that one forum that may come back without data or may not come back at all. Subforums: You are doing it the correct way, by dragging and dropping, please don't use a renumbering method, dragging and dropping is the correct way to make a subforum, just drag it until the arrow looks a bit crooked (not straight up and down). Categories: Click on forum & chat Mgmt in the admin menu and you will see an add catagory button on the resulting page. You can drag and drop forums from one category into another the same way you drag and drop forums within a catagory

Posts: 33 14-Nov-09 8:44 AM	Thanks Chris, I knew if I was doing something wrong you would correct me. I like the idea of dragging and dropping. Makes things so much easier. If you read that log you probably know there was a mix-up. The main Admin did not know I was made Admin, and thought there was a hacker, I thought the M.Admin was away, and thought there may have been a bug. We finally met in Chat and got acquainted. So far things are running much more smoothly. Thanks once more, gamal
