No options for posting? Does this require an upgrade?

Does the basic vanilla not enable images/hotlinks/email or the other normal forum buttons?

    Like rich text editors? i have downloaded every add-on with similar description but they look just like this text box; text only, no images no hot links...

    I cant tell without a login to your forum but before you do anything else i'd recommend you change the folder to your forum to either just vanilla or forum or something.

    That is my second problem, when i move it to my / directory how do i change the settings to adapt to the new url

    You'd be best just installing it there in the first place. It's possible to change the settings but it's a bit tricky and if you cant get extensions going I wouldnt like to place bets how successfully you'd be able to do it.

    How do you install it there? what designation do you give the file when you unpack it?

    What do you mean by designation?

    the server asks where you want to unpack teh files to, what do you type there? simply a: /?

    but that aside, any ideas why the forum wont allow posting HTML and the like?

    I sure don't know what you mean, but I would try "/"

    what i mean is: how do you change your forum from mydomain.com/vanilla to just: mydomain.com?
  • fysicsluvrfysicsluvr

    the easiest way (as mentioned above), would be to install it in "/" rather than "/forum/"

    too late for that i am afraid. Changing it doesnt seem to be an option i guess

    is this an already-in-action forum? What I meant was to delete the folder /vanilla/ and the MySQL db, and start fresh w/ a new db, but in the root directory.

    ok then how do you point your browser to that location for the setup? normally it would be mydomain.com/vanilla/setup

    it would be mydomain.com/setup , the forum doesn't have to be in a folder vanilla, all the files can sit in the root.

    Might I also suggest that you investigate your roles and permissions settings pages to make sure the correct roles have the correct permissions for any new extensions.
