In 03.20.09, the line [forumMail.To = PMRecipientUser.Email] is rem'd out, but I still have the problem, but the error I get now is:

Error: User Settings 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.Modules.Forum.UserSettings.SelectMultiTreeItems(DnnTree objTree, Int32 ForumID) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.UserSettings.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I mentioned this error in another post only because it may be related???

Any other help/ideas would be great, thanks.

Is there any solution for this error? I am experiencing this also.

Cheers

In my environment, this indeed looks like a conflict of some sort with the user being an admin vs. global moderator vs. moderator.  I fixed this by running a statement similar to the following for each afflicted user (change the UserID to match the user's id that you are trying to fix):

BEWARE!  This SQL statement needs to be run in SQL Server Enterprise Manager or SQL Server Management Studio.  Also, these changes are NOT REVERSEABLE!  You are advised to first back-up your database prior to making this update.

DECLARE @UserId INT;

SELECT @UserId = 1;

UPDATE [dbo].[Forum_Users] SET [IsGlobalModerator] = 0
WHERE [UserID] = @UserId AND [IsGlobalModerator] = 1

DELETE FROM [dbo].[Forum_Moderators] WHERE [UserId] = @UserId

INSERT INTO [dbo].[Forum_Moderators]([UserID],[ForumID],[AssignedDate],[PostsModerated])
SELECT @UserId, [ForumId], GETDATE(), 0 FROM [dbo].[Forum_Forums]

SELECT [UserID],[ForumID],[AssignedDate],[PostsModerated]
FROM [dbo].[Forum_Moderators]
ORDER BY [ForumID], [UserId]
