I tried that but I got an error that the version is not compatible with DNN 453 and that this module is for DNN 03.20.09

this is the error I get when trying to install the module:

How did I miss this??

anyway now I get an error after I install a new forum:

A critical error has occurred.
Keyword not supported: 'whsql-v21.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;database'

when I try editing the module, I get this:

Error: Module is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.Exceptions.ProcessModuleLoadException(PortalModuleBase ctrlModule, Exception exc) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.ModuleSettings.LoadSettings() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Modules.ModuleSettingsPage.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

do you think it may be because I recently tryed to install a language pack?

thanks a lot Mike. appreciate your help.
