CS: Workaround: Reordering Forum Groups or Forums within a Group

Due to some bugs within CS, it is not possible to change the order of the last Forum Group, or the last Forum within a Group.  The following work around will allow you to make these changes:

Reordering Forum Groups:

  1. Create a new forum group named DUMMY, but do not create or move any forums under it.
  2. While in Tree View, drap the forum groups to the root node to have them reordered to the bottom of the group list.
  3. Ignore the DUMMY group as it can't be seen or reordered.
  4. Once you are done reordering, click on the "Manage All Forums" link and you will see the current order of the forum groups.
  5. Delete the DUMMY group if you wish, but at long as it doesn't have any forums in it, it will not display.

Reordering Forums within a Group:

  1. Create a new forum named DUMMY within the forum group that you want to reorder.
  2. While in Tree View, drag the forums to the group node to have them reordered to the bottom of the group.
  3. Ignore the DUMMY forum as it can't be seen or reordered.
  4. Once you are done reordering, click on the "Manage All Forums" link and you will see the current order of the forums.
  5. Delete the DUMMY forum.
