Since the first RC of 2.5.0 I have a trouble moving the forums and the smiles to a new place I want. There seems to be an error with position count? For I see chpos=0 for my few forums in a section and smiles move in couples (e.g. not only the smilie I move changes position but also a smilie which follows this one). Now the stable release is out, it all remains the same - I can't manipulate properly with the ordering of whatever supposes my admin ability to reorder... Doesn't anybody else have this bug? Or is it something particular for my system?...

Nope, the change position script seems to be affected. Since all the categories and every place where there is "change position" function are affected! Smilies, forums, categories...
I created a new category to test about this and new test forums in it - the same problem. The preceding or following items are moving TOGETHER with the item I want to move, keeping their position relatively.
E.g.
test1
test2
test3
test4
I want to move test3 to the first line. I do all the operations and the result it:
test2
test3
test1
test4
Accordingly, I cannot move the last item one position up or first item one position down (since in this case they should change places with the item with which they are stuck).
The only operation resulting right is to move test2 in the first example to first line (don't know why).
ALSO, on the "where to move" page I often notice in the generated link "newpos=3" on pos3 and on pos4 TOO! Of course, I can't move then anything to pos4 since there is no link. OR I've seen newpos=0 in the link for all the positions except the 1st one (then, surely, I can't move anything anywhere at all). I tried to write urls manually but it doesn't help.
It seems to me that there is some problem with counting positions (in the script?). I understand that this bug can be worked around by adding everything at new in the order I need, but not countin about 40 new smilies, the whole forum is up and running! I can't just delete it... And what about the function to change position which doesn't work? It is strange that I am the only one to have this problem! What can it be? Database bug? Server misinterpreting or skipping the counted lines somehow? How can I fix the situation?

Consistency checker should fix the problem, but I am unable to replicate the bug you are describing no matter what I try. I can alter positions of smilies, categories and forums without a problem.

Well... the consistency checker was run many times since the problem appeared. But i did it again and all other optimizer functions too - no effect... I have the problem ever since upgrading from 2.3.8 to 2.5.0 RC1, then RC3, RC4 and finally stable - but this bug remained...
I will try to find the solution myself, but I'm not a PHP pro and it's difficult for me to dechipher your code, so I might need an answer to a couple of questions.
Is the position stored in SQL tables or in the code? May be it is a database problem... But then again - why all the tables, not only forums order but smilies and categories (and newly created btw!) are affected too? rather seems like a script problem however!
Do you use the same code template for changing postion in all the pages with such funcion? May be I can find the problem there? Can I have a working change position script in a separate file for comparison?
(Or should I dig my SQL tables?...)
I will try my best but your helping answers are appreciated a lot!

The positions are indeed stored inside the database. Since you say you can replicate the problem, take a look @ the code inside cat.inc, cat_change_pos() function. It has the code responsible for changing the order. The code used by smilies and forums is virtually the same.

There seem to be a certain inconsistency in mySQL database at my forum which might have connection to this problem... (consistency checks and SQL table optimizer do nothing about that):
Certain forum start count in view_order from 0 and others from 1
I mean the fud_forum table. But considering that your script for changing view_order is identical for all elements in the forum, the view_order must be starting from the same number in all tables?
So what must be the first number: 0 or 1? May be the problem is in here? Quite likely counting that the error seem to be purely mathematical... Tell me please, I can edit the fields manually and then will see what it changes.

I have problems moving forums in a category. I have more than 30 while i testing it.
I could want to have it ordered by forum name in that category.
What file should i need to change to automatically be ordered by name.
Hope that could be made i use 2.5.1 and cann´t manage forums because they go up and down while i go changing they.

I begin to get the catch: when I move down, the following item is stuck with the moved one; when I move up, the previous item is stuck with the moved one. which explains why I can't change positions of two adjacent items. The problem clearly has a mathematical flavour of enumerating error! But WHERE this error for the hell or heaven could be?
