Crap, wrong patch. :). Too many things at once, sheesh. Get stable
already Drupal! :). Anyway, here's the right one....I aplogize, ignore
the other ones.

The function forum_load consists entirely of this query:
function forum_load($node) {
  $forum = db_fetch_object(db_query('SELECT * FROM {forum} WHERE vid
= %d', $node->vid));
  return $forum;
}


The forum table, however, has no vid column. What should it be? WHERE
nid = %d ?


I haven't been following the changes to forum.module closely, so I
don't know the rest of the issues involved, but the module doesn't work
as is.

There's also en error when simply adding forum topic :


user error: Unknown column 'vid' in 'field list'
query: INSERT INTO forum (nid, vid, tid) VALUES (6, 6, 2) in
/drupal/head/database.mysql.inc on line 99.


Sounds like the removed vid field in forum table is still used in
forum.module queries.


The forum topic node is inserted, but not linked with forum due to this
error, so that's blocking the use of forums.


I've quickly searched but could not find any patch for this. I'll
double check and try to make one if needed.

Yes, vid should be the second column, just as the query says, INSERT
INTO....(nid, vid,tid)....


Seems you have the code for this, but you havne't updated your database
with update.inc, i'm not sure if there is an update to the forum table
in update.inc.....


Well, nevermind, a quick check shows that in updates.inc, it does alter
your tables for you and fix the problem, however, the current schema in
database.mysql and database.pgsql does *not*. Here's a patch that fixes
that.


So in short, form.module has been updated to use revisions, however,
you're missing a vid field in your table.
