Re: Edit Forum issue

I am trying to decide whether to stick with the core module (which I think is great except for this issue) or to go third party. I know many people have said this same thing but what are we supposed to do when there is a major bug like this and the remediation times are indefinate? Should I wait a week, a month? Will that even be enough time? Let me know how long I should wait for a working forum module and I will decide if that is too long or I can wait. More than a couple weeks is too long and I will need to go third party. If that is the answer I would like to know now rather than waiting 2 weeks to find out... keep in mind that this is not only my issue but others have reported as well.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Re: Edit Forum issue Modified By Justin Jovic on 4/9/2008 9:42:45 PM

I think i figured out the bug. I uninstalled the forum, reinstalled it and everything worked. I added forums one at a time and each time checked the edit property with no issues. I created a new forum and checked off the "allow polls" and then that forum editing broke with the error I described previously. Anything with polls enabled breaks.

I changed all records back to zero with sql studio using

Update

Forum_Forums

set

AllowPolls = 0

This did not reverse the issue though. The other difference I saw in there between the forums that didnt work vs the ones that do is the ForumType was set to 3 on the broken forums, the good ones were zero. I set them to zero and still get exceptions. I will post the exceptions below.

Thanks
