I have upgraded the DNN framework from 4.5 to 5.6.1
I tried to upgrade the Forum module as it was having exceptions whenever it was added to a page. 

The upgrade failed at 4.5.00 on all the subqueries like:

SELECT   cdefault
FROM     syscolumns
WHERE    name = N'ForumEmailTypeID'

which were returning 2 results (like DateAdded which seems to be a very common column name).
I replaced the equals sign in these subqueries with the keyword "IN"

The install then also failed because tables/procs/procedures/views already existed so, I dropped all tables, views, and stored procs, that started with:

Forums_

(It was scripted so I also removed the PK, FK and XI constraints)

After that, the script part of the install was successful (no errors were reported and it said "Installation Successful" at the end of running).  The forums appear in the module list, I can do everything except if I click a forum name, I get dumped back to the main screen, and in the EventLog I have:

As I said, every other form on the forums seems to work: administration, moderation, adding forums, adding forum groups.  They all appear to work.

Any ideas?

A little after posting, I finally figured out what's causing this.

Looking a little more closely, the exceptions came from "Active.Forums.NTForums" which means having the forums on the same page as the ActiveForums was causing what I can only presume is a timeout. 

Making a new page seems to fix this problem.

I suggest sticking with a single forum module only, be aware that having a bunch of "heavy" modules will slow down your site.

Thanks!

That was actually in my original plan.  ActiveForums DRM just didn't survive the upgrade, so the only reason I've been keeping that instance of the module around is for its data. 

I was worried I'd dropped a stored proc that was vital to the Forum or triggered some weird problem by changing the script, so that's what sent me in the wrong direction. 

(I consider the issue "resolved")

PS I'm a huge fan of UDT (Form and List now I guess).
