I cant figure out how to change the order of appearance of forums within a category.
ie: I have a Regions category, and within that category I have a "Missouri" forum and an "Illinois" forum....right now the Missouri forum appears on top but I want the Illinois forum to be on top. How do I change that?


Thanks

so the only way to do it with the version I have is to delete the forum and re add them in the correct order?

I guess I better make damn sure I have them in the right order before I go live with my site.....or upgrade.

You might be able to backup the xoops_bb_forums table as an .sql file, reorder the lines in that file, and then restore the table from the .sql file. I haven't looked into that.

Or if you're into hacking, you could add a sort-column to the table and change the MySQL query that retrieves the forums to use that column.

After you've upgraded to newBB 2 (which is not recommended yet for production sites), you'll be able to change the order whenever you like from the newBB admin page.
