Did you make sure, you are using latest version of the forums module?

Marc,

you should also update the Forum module and any other modules you are using on your site/installation to a version that works with the DNN version you're using. There are a lot of changes in the core from DNN5 to DNN7, so please check these upgrades as well.

You can include module upgrades by copying the installation packs to the /install/module folder before you start the upgrade process.

Best wishes
Michael

Hi,

Thanks for the advice, I was using the latest forums version but I figured out from another post it was because  that during the upgrade the database had been stripped of a value 'resources/photo's'

Using this query resolved the problem as I was able to compare portal and host tables. 

select host.PortalId, host.PropertyCategory, host.PropertyName
, portal.PortalId, portal.PropertyCategory, portal.propertyName
from dnn_ProfilePropertyDefinition host
left join dnn_ProfilePropertyDefinition portal
 on host.propertyName = portal.PropertyName
 and host.PortalId is null
 and portal.portalId = 0
where host.portalId is null
 

You may have to remove the dnn_ if you don't use the prefix and possibly change the portalid.

Thxs
