    Today I was not able to add or edit an entry in Fungus and Lichen ID Resources on The Web http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/local_links.php?catid=12

    The error message was "Forum does not exist" so I'm thinking perhaps this could be due to somewhat recent forum moves/changes? Or perhaps it is just a temporary glitch of this morning. I'll keep trying, but would you let me know if there is a fix needed?

    Thanks :-)

    Try now. It had to do with the merger of the fungus ID and the fungus appreciation and discussion forums from a few months ago. The links "forum" was associated with the one that was merged out of existence.

    Thank you Daniel,
    It accepted my new entry, but turned me down on editing an old entry because "It is not possible to determine if you are allowed access to this entry, because it is associated with a forum that no longer exists. Linkid, forumid= 185, 199"
    Which makes sense.
    So, I'm thinking I could update an old entry by retyping it as a new entry with edits, then deleting the old entry. Tho, it might not allow me to delete I spose.
    No big deal tho, I can always make a new entry clearly indicating it is an update to an old one.

    Sure, just let me know if I have to delete something that's been replaced by something newer.
