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.

Have you tried that in more than one browser?

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.”

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.
