But I created a vanilla 2.5 site and installed Kunena and.... the forum works perfectly. So what I did wrong before I'm not sure - but I think it might have been Joomla inexperience - I was probably running to install a Forum before I really had grasped the basics of Joomla. Sorry !
Anyway I've learnt a lot - about Joomla - about the Kunena forum and about how to provide the correct information to elicit help.
Thanks for your patience and support on this one. I can only say again what a fantastic product combination Joomla and Kunena make !
