I don't know why you keep enabled the legacy mode ?,You have anything which need this .
I don't provide support by PM, because this can be useful for someone else.

The problem was NOT that nobody could log in: the problem is that if one, say, tries to create a topic or reply to an existing one without logging in, when asked to log in Kunena does not recognise the username and/or password. That problem remains.
Thanks!
Andy.

Your help is much appreciated, and when you find out exactly what is demanding legacy mode, I'm sure it will be also useful for other Kunena users who might experience the same problem. Like you, it seems logical to me that once we have found the offending object, the login problems will resolve themselves. Incidentally, we've had a few instances recently where site members have not been able to log in *at all* with Kunena, only with CB (and yes, I confirmed they were using the correct credentials). I'm sure this is all part of the same problem though.
Kind regards
Andy.

And, while I don't know much about wedding dresses, I should be very surprised if they were the cause of the problem.
Cheers!

I found that many components, modules, plugins and templates had been disabled. For me, trialling software, that may or may not have a place in an operational website, is something to be done under "laboratory conditions" - on a test site.
I ascertained that, if you started from scratch - installed Kunena 1.6 on a plain, "vanilla-flavoured" Joomla platform, with just a handful of the hundreds of extra Joomla extensions that you have installed - you would have a fully-functioning website running again in less than 2 days.
I had to halt my analysis of your site - I have been slowly recovering from illness and I haven't had the energy - but it's my estimate that it would take more than one week to pin-point which of the 100+ extensions you've installed are responsible for holding you back at J! 1.0. I don't have a week to do that work and, at the same time, do everything else that I need to do. On the other hand, if you started again, with a basic site framework - migrating across your existing forum - you would have the basis to not only move forward with J! 1.5 but also you would be future-proofing your site for J! 1.6 and beyond.
It's your site and, unfortunately, while it is engineered the way it is, there's really nothing more that anyone else can do with it unless you arranged something more formally. There is no bug in Kunena that I could see. I have amended the topic subject accordingly.
With some better organisation, your site has a lot of potential.

Firstly, I was sorry to hear you have been ill. I hope you are now fully recovered.
Many thanks for your post and your helpful suggestions. There is one point I would like to clarify though: many of the site modules listed at Science File are not listed as published, but they are still being used. That is to say, they are directly inserted in articles and other modules. I have been right through the list of modules and removed any which are not being used on the site: they numbered fewer than half a dozen (and of course they should have been uninstalled when they were no longer used).
I am definitely, in any case, going to do a major site rewrite in the near future: it's something which has been on the to-do list for a while. As I am sure you will appreciate, it's just finding the time to site down and plan/execute the rewrite. I am sure that this will solve the problems with the login we are experiencing, which, like you, I am now sure is not a problem with Kunena.
On behalf of our members I would like to thank you, and everybody at Kunena, for all the marvellous support we continue to receive. It is much appreciated.
Kind regards

Hi Sozzled,
I'm trying to disable legacy mode on my site (I turned it on very early in my Joomla learning experience and didn't even realise what I was doing.)
But when I try your advice (in quote above) I don't get green arrows or red X's in the 'Compatibility' column at all. The column is empty.
Any advice?
Whatever the module is that requires legacy mode is on my homepage page because when I disable legacy mode I can't even load up my homepage, never mind Kunena...
Thank you in advance for your help.
Ray.
