Here is the situation.  Using 4.9 version of DNN and latest available forums module (4.4.3) I setup a beta forum on my site.  I set up 4 seperate forums, General, Project Talk, Marketplace, and Off-Topic.  They all worked fine until I went to edit the properties on one forum (add some text to the decription), and when I clicked edit I get "A critical error has occurred. Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

In the eventviewer I get a module load exception and a page load exception.

Here are the two stack traces:

Was the Forum prviously running a 3.x version and upgraded to 4.4.3 or was it a new installed forum?  The first error log looks like there are missing permissions.

At some point there was a 3.x version upgraded.  It has never worked since then.  How can I completely uninstall every trace of forums so the system is like new?  As for permissions, there is modify permissions on the entire application including all subfolders.

you can delete the forum module from the Module definations with delete files!  This delete also all threads and posts of the forum.  I would suggest that you done a check of the database if all forum database artifacts are deleted.  If not do it manuelly and then restart the application-  Then you can do a fresh install of the Forum module.
