| 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. |

| Have you or your host made any changes? I ask because things don't "just quit working correctly" for no reason. |

I spoke with our host and they said they did not make any changes. Here is a picture of my edit screen.

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.

Yes, it is the same in both Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Also, Shaggy, I don't understand. What do you mean by the source of the page? If you are asking about the address bar at the top, it says
post.asp?method=EditForum&FORUM_ID=55&CAT_ID=13 |

| 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. |

Thank you for being patient with me. Like I said, I know NOTHING!! Here is the code that I think goes to that section of the page:
<td bgColor="lightsteelblue" noWrap vAlign="top" align="right"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2"><b>Auth Type:</b></font></td>
<td bgColor="lightsteelblue">
<select readonly name="AuthType">
<option value="0">All Visitors</option>
<option value="4">Members Only</option>
<option value="5">Members Only (Hidden)</option>
<option value="2">Password Protected</option>
<option value="7">Members Only & Password Protected</option>
<option value="3">Allowed Member List & Password Protected</option>
<option value="1" selected>Allowed Member List</option>
<option value="6">Allowed Member List (Hidden)</option>
</select> <a href="Javascript:openWindow3('pop_help.asp?mode=options#authtype')" tabindex="-1"><img src="icon_smile_question.gif" width="15" height="15" border="0" alt="Click here to get more help on this option" title="Click here to get more help on this option" /></a>
<br /><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2"><b>Password:</b><br /></font>
<input maxLength="255" type="text" name="AuthPassword" size="50" value=" "></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgColor="lightsteelblue" noWrap vAlign="top" align="right"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2"><b>Allowed Member List:</b></font></td>
<td bgColor="lightsteelblue">
<table>
<tr>
<td align="center"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2"><b>Available</b></font><br />
<select name="AuthUsersCombo" size="6" multiple onDblClick="moveSelectedOptions(document.PostTopic.AuthUsersCombo, document.PostTopic.AuthUsers, false, '')">
<option value="320">1987JEEPMJ</option>
<option value="424">5150Scout</option>
<option value="393">87 4RUNNER 22R TURBO</option>

| 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. |

| That file is perfect, matches the original exactly so it's not the issue. |
