How do I edit Soapbox 1.0 these days?
-
I can get to the settings page for the forum, but any attempt to make a change tells me that the site name is taken - even though I presume that I was recognized as the admin or I wouldn't have been able to click on the tiny edit icon.

I just tried logging in as you (relax: I don't know your password!) and then editing that forum and it was fine for me. Can you please cut and paste the exact error?

went to the edit screen made no changes or in any way interacted with CP once I got there other than: clicked on "save my settings" and I received: Items that need attention: The name you supplied has already been registered. Please choose another, or try retrieving your password if that is your member name. Some alternative names you could try are: Soap Box 1.0 from Vänsjö Soap Box 1.0 from Vänsjö, Jamtlands Lan Soap Box 1.0 from Vänsjö, Sweden Soap Box 1.0 from Vänsjö Jamtlands Lan, Sweden Soap Box 1.0 2

Ah - you want to change the settings of the Soapbox group account, not the forum associated with the group. Right. Lemme check something... ...OK, I tried doing what you said and it was very happy to let me. There's a 'check availability' button next to the name - have you tried that? What does it say? Do you have javascript enabled?

It comes up a red "(taken)" which is repeated on the next line. I have javascript enabled. The problem occurs both in Chrome and Firefox The only thing I can add is that the application bounces me to a version of the same page, after I click on save settings button, where instead of the logon email being "soapbox@..." it is "jono@..."

This may or may not be pertinent but. I just suspended a member. The suspension happened as it should, but when I then used the drop-down filter to go back to "All Statuses", the page came back with a no result option. When I pulled out of the admin altogether and went back in, I could see, the standard "All Statuses: results. From the outside in, it looks as if somewhere after a postback the app loses my status as an admin for the forum and I end up without the view rights I have when the pages first come up.
