Ok so I got my forum on my site all setup and running.

Then I discovered that I could make a forum a child of another forum so I've been playing with this all afternoon.

Here is the deal though.  I want to create some child forums for an existing forum.  However it seems that the only way you can do this is by having the parent completely empty with no existing threads in it. 

So here is what I did, I created the new child forum then with a sql command I updated the threads that were tied back to the original parent and changed their ForumID to match the newly created forum.  Problem I have now though is that when I go to the newly created forum it doesn't show the threads although they are there.

The other problem I have is that if I change the ParentID in forum_forums to match that of the parent forum that I want this child to reside under the forum never shows up underneath it.

If you can maybe shed some light on how exactly it is that your code handles the children that would be great.  I was just trying to do this the easy route. 

Also is it possible with the next release to include the ability to create a child forum underneath an already existing forum?

Thank you in advance for your assistance with this.

Ok so I figured it out.

After you get done with the sql scripts you need to go back to your site and go to forum admin then click on the parent forum, click update and this forces DNN to requery the DB and then everything shows up as it should.

Also if you decide to do this after you get done moving your threads around don't forget to run an update script on forum_forums and set the ThreadTotal and PostTotal

Enjoy :)
