One of my Topics has been corrupted. The topic ID and Topic Name has disappeared and I cannot amend it nor delete it. Can someone please help. Thanks

Have you tried going into the database (using phpMyAdmin or MySQL from the command line)? bye, Dirk

Thanks for replying Dirk. I don't quite understand your question. Can I go to MYSQL and delete this topic heading (will it cause an improper cleanup) or do I go to MYSQL to patch the file. If so, what do I need to do? Thanks

If you have any stories that were posted under that topic, then you should not delete it. I was simply suggesting to have a look at the topic in the database to see if there's anything obvious that can be repaired there. Check that it still has a title and an id, compare the permissions with your other topics, etc. bye, Dirk
