I have an old version of Phorum 3 which I heavily customized in 2003 in order to provide an Open Peer Review Medical Journal at JOIMR.org I haven't done anything to the website for ever so long (a year or so) and I just found out that the Admin account (or, indeed, the owner of the post) can no longer edit a post. New posts are posted OK, and Admin can delete them, but any attempt to edit a message does nothing. No harm to database, but no changes are saved either. Original message remains the same. I set MySQL privileges to (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, REFERENCES, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES) and I have never changed this from 2003. The server's host is still running Apache v1, but they have upgraded SQL and Apache versions during the past year. Can anybody suggest where I could start looking to fix this?

I used the variable $i as an index in some RSS code I added to header.php

Of course this messed up the database index called $i in edit.php

Sorry to bother you

You could try this by posting a test message on one of the inactive boards at URL
[www.joimr.org]

I have done nothing to the code for as long as I remember, so I am assuming it was a version change in Apache (which is still v1) and/or MySQL. Oh, I guess it could be a PHP version problem, too...

Thanks for any clues you might be able to share. I just don't have the time to upgrade the Phorum right now, but the papers which are already online are pretty important to keep online, as they have been cross-refernced quite a bit recently...
