HELP, I am going crazy here.
I have added a new menu item with submenus as you can see in the attached image.
The Top menu item with submenus shows on the website http://avn.org.au
but the bottom one > Pandemic Influenza does not show the sub menus that are there.
I am using Joomla 1.0.x and I am going crazy trying to work this out.
I tried creating another menu module and copying an exising menu and was going to try to use that, but when I copied the menu, the submenus in that copied menu didn't show up either.
I have no idea what I am missing here.
I hope someone can help me?
Thanks,

ok,
The menu items are published.
The sub menus are at the correct level, I don' t think there are any in between levels.
Pandemic is a Blog Section
Not sure what you mean by the last comment "It may be related to top (horizontal) menu if the lhs menu items are under these and ot in their own menu also......"
I have attached this image...can you see it?
Showing menu layout
These are often a little tricky - sorry just having another look
Hmm it looks a bit confusing - like informed voice and pandemic are together as in one mod - have you tried to separate them?
Anyway what I meant by top menu - if there is a relationship between teh top menu items and teh left hand side item - the "split" menu efffect can go awry.
So if in your top menu you create a second tier (published but tell module only to show top level) an include pandemic item there, with it's sublinks underneath - then in left hand menu publish this tier - it will probably work - I know this is a little confusing.. Have a fiddle and let us know and I will try to explain more - can you show me a pic of your top menu also
Ok, I was looking for the original top menu, but I cannot find it, so I don't know what settings I need.
This site was developed by someone else so I am missing some clues here.
There are extra settings in J1.5 that are not available in 1.0.x and I know you can include things like the end level and start level, but I can't see how to do this.
Its so driving me crazy. I wonder if showing you the login would help.
This is highly highly sensitive information though so I would prefer not, but this is getting beyond a joke for not being able to create any form aof a submenu
I know - (whihc may be the problem) but you alos hav ea module published called top menu and it is using teh same menu as left menu so may help - in fact it may be that that menu that is hard coded is actuyally calling "top menu module" again it's using teh same actual menu and tis may be the problem
ok I unpublished the Top Menu module - which didn't affect anything on the site at all, as it was published to user3 which doesn't exist on the html. but still no sub menus.
What I did also was publish that menu - which was using IVMenu and put it to the right hand side, and made it a vertical menu....the Top Menu item showed the submenus, but the pandemic influenza ones WOULD STILL NOT SHOW!!
hmm - I guess we could try every fix in the book - another suggestion is to make an article called Pandemic influenza and actually make it a page insetad of a section and then move menu items under it. It seems really strange that the submenus sit under any other parent - so i'm wondering if there is something a little funny about that sections page or link. - Can you peruse the com_content code and compare it to another install to see if there are any probs with it etc?
At this point if I were you, (after looking at the code, I would copy the database minus teh menus - trial it on a fresh J1.0 install and see if it worked there then add template etc and troubleshoot step by step to see where the problem lies.

Sorry I can't see the attached image - hmm just double check -
- Check the submenus in question are published
- Check the submenus in question are at the correct level that is being shown - like - pandemics is the parent of the submenus - there is no inbetween level
Hmm the resources and others are working.. what sort of menu item is pandemic (i.e. is it a wrapper / a link to section / etc ) compared with other menu items?
It may be related to top (horizontal) menu if the lhs menu items are under these and ot in their own menu also......
