Crash

I love these forums, but i had an issue arise.

when a post was clicked on that was placed by a character that has been deleted, the server crashes.

Exception:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at Server.Forums.ThreadGump..ctor(Mobile pm, ThreadEntry te)
   at Server.Forums.ForumGump.OnResponse(NetState sender, RelayInfo info)
   at Server.Network.PacketHandlers.DisplayGumpResponse(NetState state, PacketReader pvSrc)
   at Server.Network.MessagePump.HandleReceive(NetState ns)
   at Server.Network.MessagePump.Slice()
   at Server.Core.Main(String[] args)

I thought you should know.

Can you please duplicate one more time in debug mode and repost the crash log?

here ya go

Exception:

My suggestion (and it is only a suggestion) would be to see if its possible to either Assign the authors' name by a different method, OR have the system delete a thread or call it "author unknown" if it is opened and the author has been deleted.

Hi Sorious, great job on this!

Sorry if this has been asked or said before but do you plan on including different forum sections instead of all the posts being in one part!?
Would be great to be able to split up the forums like we have on Runuo here, so that posts can then be categorized (maybe even a staff only section, not just staff only posts?).

Let me know what you think

Thanks

[Jeff]

That would be a biggggg pain in the ass, but i will tihnk about it.

 

[tobyjug]

Haha tis a fair point

Cheers though!

Hey, this isn't a big fix but in your "ForumBulletinboard.cs"

you should add this.

    [Flipable( 0x1E5E, 0x1E5F )]
    public class ForumBulletinBoard : Item
    {

Because it's not flipable.

Ya i coulda done that along time ago, but i that woulda required A. me to look up those values, or B. log into uo and look up those values, I havent logged into UO for about 3 months and dont plan to, and im lazy, thanks

 

[Savaal]

Well there I helped a little now I feel good xD

 

[seanandre]

Just wanted to let you know that I installed the update for this system to v1.3.6, but when I open the forum board it still shows v1.3.5.

Guild Forums

I haven't looked at the code so i don't know if this is in anyway possible. But here's my suggestion anyways (sorry if it has been suggested before btw)..

It would be pretty cool of guild stones had a forum for all guild members to post on. Maybe a button to the forums from guild stone gump. The guild leader would of course be the forum admin, and maybe he could give moderator positions to other guild members.

Ya i had plans to come up with maybe personal craftable books but never got around to it. If I have time between my current project and the next i will try to implement that for you

IDEA:

A way to edit existing posts might be nice, although I don't know how it would work for LONG posts, but the short post edit would be great.

Possible bug?

My server crashed a couple times since installing this script. I 'think' it is related to this script, please see crash report below:

e and less than the size of the collection.

Any ideas?
