The forum update of 12 Dec 2022 seems to have generated a few "glitches" in the forum system code, and may take a few days to resolve. So if you notice anomolies (hopefully only the same ones I do) please be patient until they are resolved. If they are still troubling by the end of this coming weekend (eg 19/12/22), only then report back by posting details against this topic.
Software updates are necessary to help protect this resource from hackers and any disruption to essentially-normal operation is a small price to pay for continuing access. I just have to find causes and then a solution - the harder part.

POST NOTE : There have been so many errors appear that the code has been rolled back to a backup copy made earlier today. That will be available pending resolution of the updated code issues (MAYBE).
NOTE 13 Dec 2022 : It appears that the whole forum package may need to be dumped and re-loaded, and then saved data imported.
The existing package has gone through about 30 updates since original installation but has now some very obvious faults that will not be easy to resolve and are likely to continue with further/future updates.
There are no guarantees that ALL info will be available after that, particularly in the form of attachments, avatars and images, so it is a last resort.
My only other choice might be to discontinue the forum entirely.....
IN THE INTERIM, SOME FUNCTIONALITY WILL BE DISABLED PENDING ANY/SOME RESOLUTION
