Sergey,

>It's not like UT trashes forum settings every day, is it? However, forum placeholders will be shown always.

Given what's been going on around here the last few days you never can tell. *g*

If I login and there's no VFP section is it because there are no messages or does it think I don't want to see VFP? So I click the Setup link and then to forums and verify that VFP is still checked.
