adding new forums programmatically

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

hi all,
i tried to insert a couple of forums into my database programmatically and i was surprised to see that the forums never showed up on the forum index page.

i added entries to the jforum_forums table and i have 5 rows in that table however the forum index page only shows 3 forums. the 2 rows that i added manually were not in the list.

can someone explain that please?

Please don't cross post the same question to multiple forums. Locking this one ...
