If I open the Resources tab & click on Discussion Forum, I get a pop-up message: “Solidworks forum tab is not visible. Activate in the Dialogs dialog”. So I went to Tools, Add-ins, it shows me selector boxes including one for Solidworks Forum 2014. If I click any combination of those 2 boxes (one to activate & other for upon startup), it doesn’t help. I still can’t navigate directlt to Forum, it always gives the same popup message. And when I return to this Add-In area, the boxes are always de-selected, even if I save.

However if I navigate straight to the forum web address outside of SW, I land here no problem. https://forum.solidworks.com/index.jspa

Strange, I thought this worked the other day from within SW.
