No.

You're not being held to ransom but the solution in your case depends on what you consider is more important to your community - all the other things you're using or Kunena.

You are using some other Joomla component that is not fully compatible with standard Joomla Mootools. Kunena uses standard Joomla Mootools to render the BBcode toolbar and that controls the file attachment/upload feature as well as a few other important forum functions. Finding out what it is that's clobbering Kunena can sometimes take a while.

The cause is not necessarily isolated to one thing. It could be a template, a menu module, some other module, a plugin or anything else referred to in the link in msg #1 of this topic. Not easy to answer in an self-help forum setting like we're using at the moment, but we're doing our best.

Do you have a registry of known templates that do work with Kunena? so I could have a look and try another one? The forum is only a small section of my site Otherwise I will just do away with the forum, I cant be bothered with all this compatibility issues, having to find and experiment is crazy, that's why I feel like im being held to ransom

If you use Google you will find several million Joomla site templates. We do not have time to test all of them, sorry. If you search this forum (use your template name as a search key) you may find other topics where your specific template has been reported before (or you may not). Ultimately, many of these issues come down to My Joomla site template makes a mess of Kunena (but not always!)

Wouldn't it be delightful if there was a magic silver bullet? Unfortunately, detective work is a slow process and requires effort. If you do not want to use Kunena, that's your choice, too. We're sorry that we always fix everyone's problems for them.

"Experimentation" is easy, too. See When all else fails, try this which only takes an hour to do.

I hope this helps but, if it doesn't, we're always improving Kunena and future versions will not have the problems that many people currently experience in this Javascript library conflict-caused matter.

which template are you using here?

It's a home-grown custom Joomla template designed for J! 1.5, Dave.

Can we download it and use it? would make sense to use this template
