:S

Please do not "hijack" other users' topics. It's not courteous to the person who starts the topic and it's not courteous to other users who may be interested in the answer to the question that the topic relates to.

To create a new topic, go to the Index page. Select a category from the list of categories you see on that page that is closest to what your question is about.

It sounds to me like your question (or questions) fall into the K 2.0 General Questions category.

When you go into the category you will see pages of topics and a "+ New Topic" button (as I have circled in the screenshot below).

it is posted there thank you hopefully your self or someone else can help when they see my post thanks

and sorry again for butting in on this

The problem I have got is whereas global moderators have got the power to ban people, they can only do this if you have the kunena profile enabled. Because I've got jomsocial installed the kunena profile is bypassed, therefore it seems that administrators are the only ones who can administer a ban from the jomsocial profile.

Yes, it's a problem all right, when you have integrated JomSocial profiles instead of Kunena profiles.

However that's an entirely different question.

Global moderators can ban users when they access the Kunena user profile. Therefore you need to explain to your global moderators that they need to go to the user's Kunena profile to execute the ban (unless you can figure out a way for them to do it from JomSocial without having to give them site administration privileges).

User management from JomSocial is JomSocial 's department (not our department); deciding to allow user management functions within the forum context - by linking usernames to JomSocial user profiles or Kunena user profiles - is your department.

I can tell you that, when this website was using JomSocial user profiles and when I required access to the Kunena "ban user" feature, it used to take me about 3 minutes to locate the Kunena user profile and execute the ban from there; these days (without JomSocial) it takes one mouse-click. Using JomSocial user profiles used to frustrate all the global moderators here because of the extra effort.

Do you require instructions to locate the URL to a user's Kunena profile? Armed with that information, it's a straightforward matter for your global moderators to go there.

That's what I thought. Oh well, I will just have to leave it like it is. Thanks anyway
