This is getting annoying.
I just deactivated, uninstalled all the modules except for system. I then deleted all folders inside the module folder, uzipped a fresh copy of XOOPS, and uploaded the new files into the module directory.
Still, the "system" icon does not appear in the left colum.
I installed the "contact us" , forum, and links.
Forum and links shows up on the left, contact us does not. I'll let you know when I add a few others.
