Hey folks! :)
We're unable to open a thread on our forum on DNN 9.2.2.
We're getting the following error message in our admin log:
Message:Object reference not set to an instance of an object. StackTrace: InnerMessage:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

We've also recently updated our Forum software (to 05.01.00) in an attempt to solve the issue, however it hasn't helped.
I don't think we use any special settings. I think it might has something to do with missing profile fields however I might be completely in the wrong there. Hopefully, you can take a closer look.
Thank you very much!
