I am running 3.4.05 (I think) and the private forums section just quit working correctly. The private forums feature is on, however, now when I go into the edit section and select either of the Allowed Member List choices, there is not a column on the right to move names into. Please help me, however, know that I know NOTHING about code and don't speak your computer language. I have searched for this issue on this forum and haven't found anything, but that doesn't mean it isn't here.
Also, have a look in the source of the page for any ASP errors that may be hidden from the on-screen output. Although, looking at your screenshot, I don't think there will be any.
Search is your friend “I was having a mildly paranoid day, mostly due to the fact that the mad priest lady from over the river had taken to nailing weasels to my front door again.”
Use your browser's "View Source" option (usually found via right-clicking on a page, and in the menus somewhere) to look at the finished HTML. Depending on where an error occurs, it may get obscured from view, but will show up in the source.

Patti, could you open a copy of your "post.asp" file and save it as a .txt file (click on File, Save as:, then choose text from drop down formats)? Save that on the web somewhere and give us a link to it.
No, Patti, it's not in a .txt format, that's saved as .asp format. Open Windows Explorer (My Computer) & browse to the location of your forum files. Find post.asp and open it with notepad and then save it as "post.txt" - then post a link to it so we can review the programming.
