Rules not working once being accepted, can't be forced to re-accepted.

I created a set of rules that was only visible for me, so I could test it and check the formatting and such. It was showing fine. However when I accepted them they disappeared, when I click on forum rules I get some generic rules page which I would have to edit in the phrases.
If I force a reset on all users so they need to accept the rules again nothing changes, if I delete those rules and add a new set of rules, I still don't get the new rule page, even if I set it so I need to accept them before I can do anything. What do I do?
