however /forums/index.php doesnt give errors when visited.

Suggestions?

if i disable the news block (which shows posts) then I dont get any errors, additionally I never get forum errors when viewing forums, threads or posts when I access via /forums/ dir

yea i had those errors as well, give me your sites info, and ill come by and see if i can help.

Sent a message to you via profile.

Not an RPG hack issue, server admin upgraded MySql to v5 without telling me.....

fix

In modules/latesttopics.php and modules/news.php find the following:

LEFT JOIN ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'icon USING (iconid)

and replace it with:

LEFT JOIN ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'icon AS icon ON (icon.iconid = thread.iconid)
