I haven't tried all of these yet, but I am sure the posts are in the tables because I can see them when logged on as an ordinary registered user. I only get the error when logged on as admin.

I did find an error log on modules/newbb and it is posted below. The errors seem to do with Protector. Interestsingly, when I try to open any of the tabs in Protector I get the same 500 error. Below is the error log

Error log follows:

I cannot figure out where to get the value following # in your second suggestion below. I can get the post_id from the newbb tables, but where do I find the other value?

Incidentally, I set up a second test ID as admin and have the same problem with it. It does only affect admin users.

An update:

I got frustrated trying to figure out what the problem was so I tried a complete new install for this small site. That required some work to re-enter registered users, re-intall modules, etc. but it seemed the simplest thing to do. The good news is that the problems are no longer there. I have to believe that I had one or more corrupted files during my initial install.

Thanks to those who tried to help.

Youre not alone there brother, I had to do that once or twice.

sorry I did not back to you for one week.

to access a topic in newbb just this link with post_id is enough:
https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=354122

But as i said before 500 errors are usually coming from bad php configurations so a full php info will show us many things.

Now i see you solved your issue so maybe you had some corrupted files as you mentioned.
