About the new feature added in FUDforum 2.6.8, which is named flat category listing, is this something optional, or is this something I have to live with? I don't like it too much, and I couldn't find any option in the admin that would change it Maybe this has another name in the options?
If it is the "Default View" option in "Category & Forum Management", it doesn't work at all. I put it as Collapsed, Open or Compact, it doesn't change anything at all at the display. It tried it on an upgraded FUDforum and on a completely new 2.6.8. Same results.

That is the correct option for changing this value. Tests on my dev forums show no such problem, changing the value takes affect instantly. The default value of the option is always "Open" btw.

I tried again, deactivating/switch from open to compact to collapsed, still the same. The only thing I changed from a "standard" usage, is to use the path_info stuff (I activated it in "Global Settings Manager" and regenerated the theme with path_info). Do you think it may be the culprit? (update: no, I tried without path_info, doesn't work either)
Because except from this (and except the fact that I use a PostgreSQL database, v7.4.6), I don't have anything special, really.
I looked into the database, in the fud_cat table, the value seems to be correctly changed :
Before a change (all Open):
Quote: | fuddads=# select * from fud26_cat;
id | name | description | cat_opt | view_order | parent
----+----------------+-------------------------+---------+------------+---- ----
1 | Test Category | - Just a test category | 3 | 3 | 0
2 | Administration | - Administration | 3 | 2 | 0
3 | About the File | - About the File | 3 | 1 | 0
(3 rows)
|
And after:
Quote: | fuddads=# select * from fud26_cat;
id | name | description | cat_opt | view_order | parent
----+----------------+-------------------------+---------+------------+---- ----
1 | Test Category | - Just a test category | 3 | 3 | 0
2 | Administration | - Administration | 3 | 2 | 0
3 | About the File | - About the File | 5 | 1 | 0
(3 rows)
|
Does anybody else have this problem, or am I the only one?

I use PATH_INFO style theme on my development forum as well, so that's definately not the issue.
It is not PostgreSQL either because the data inside the database is completely correct.
Would it be possible for me to get admin access to this forum, or if that is not possible give me an SQL dump of the data of the forum and I'll try to re-create the problem using it.
