Really seems easy to reproduce…all any member of a hidden or private group needs to do is post a forum thread, update, and/or comment and walah! The activity appears in the public activity stream. At one point it was showing up in CommentLuv links outside of the main domain all together, which leads me to believe it is an RSS failure. Is this how the mail notifications are tickled? RSS? Activity stream as well?
Okay…now it gets even stranger. I have a newer member who created a new group and is creating forum topics with no problems, and the links work! Myself, I still get the “not topic was created” error….
LOL…I agree with you. Really, after nearly a week’s worth of work on the newest and 11 months running at the oldest, I don’t want to start over.
I can see the pre-Tweetstream threads at both sites, but can’t view the content. Neither will let me create new threads.
Additionally, when I have tried to reinstall the forums, both current and fresh, there is no change. And when I reinstall fresh, I get a parsing error :Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘%’, expecting ‘]’ in /home/drifter1/public_html/extremewritingnow.com/bb-config.php on line 73
Line 73 looks like this reasonable facsimile :
define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, “#2yB1 @8^e!-lM.%yqNUr^ju+2OLP ~ hDJ$GkeMIP[3%mwDm3*sbNpNdZSq(8c^.”)
When I chage it to this:
define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, “#2yB1 @8^e!-lM.[yqNUr^ju+2OLP ~ hDJ$GkeMIP3%mwDm3*sbNpNdZSq](8c^.”)
the error goes away, but I still have no functional forums.
The config files all look square with the set-up, but I may have stumbled onto something; only because I am working on my 4th network set-up in a month.
The install in question on this thread has been shut-down mysteriously on several occasions in the last 2 weeks or so. The first time it happened there seem to be a Twitter belch that affected a number of different Twitter apps. I though nothing of it until about the third or forth crash. To bring the site back up, I disabled Tweetstream.
When I look back over my notes, the Forum issues started about the time of the first Twitter related crash.
I would not have connected the two issues totally until something that occurred this evening. I have been putting the final touches on the latest install which includes Tweetstream. I had tested my forums set up thoroughly. Everything was solid as a brick shi….well…you know. But, after I finally got Tweetstream to go online and received a fatal error on my first update that included a tweet. The forums were as broke as the original install.
The other two installs do not have the Tweetstream plugin active, and the forums are running flawless.
I realize I need (and I will) take this up with the Tweetstream folks, but I need a little direction as how I can recover my forums. The networks I have set up are pretty darned active and a lot of the members camp out at the to work.
I have again deactivated every plugin, except for BuddyPress, reinstalled the forums on the existing BP install. I try to create a forum post and I get an error say I there was a problem creating that post. Go back into the forum and the title AND permalink for the post are visible. I open the post, and it says there were no posts for that topic.
