1.9 Upgrade - Unable to post to Front Page News

I've just upgraded to 1.9 (latest weekly), and now I'm unable to post news to the front page, even when logged in as an administrator - the 'post new topic' button does not show up. Am I missing something?

Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,

Please check that the defaultfrontpageroleid in Administration > Front Page > Front Page settings. It should NOT be set to guest.

If you want logged-in users to participate in front page activities, then set the default front page role to student, otherwise just leave it as "None".

Hello, Steve,

I had a similar problem but with Moodle 1.8.5. This happened when I was using Firefox as a browser, but not with Explorer.

Have you tried with a different browser?
