    Hi there,
    I am trying to upgrade to AS 1.8.2 but this requires an upgrade from active forum as well. the AS upgrade went smoothly but all our forum posts are missing after the AF upgrade. The description of what i have done is below:

    I encountered some problems when upgrading the ActiveForum for 4.1 to 4.2, following the instructions at
    http://www.activemodules.com/Commun...fault.aspx . It is stated in Step 8 that I should  go directly to the Active Forums Control Panel after upgrade and "click the button that is displayed in the control panel and wait for the upgrade process to complete.  This process can take up to 10 minutes depending on the content of your forums.  The Control Panel Dashboard will be displayed once the upgrade process is complete."

    Fact is there was no button for me to click in the control panel. In the end, none of the forum thread appear on my page. Even in the Control Panel Forums tab, I could see the thread but get object not set to instance when I click on the forums and forum group list.

    I did a quick hack, noticing there is a new column in ActiveForum_Forum table called PermissionID added to the database table. All the values are set to -1. I added another ActiveForum instances and noticed that its Permission ID is 1. Hence I changed all the PermissionID in the previous rows from -1 to 1. Same goes for the ActiveForum_Group table. With that the forums content appear, but I am not sure if there are any further hidden problems.

    Is there anything else that i ca do?

    Thanks,
    Frank
