[toucan42]

I am trying to use the vb_DataManager_Thread_FirstPost to insert a new thread on behalf of a user who has filled out a form on a page which calls this script vis AJAX.

The script SHOULD create a new thread in a specified forum and attribute the thread/post to the user who filled in the form. Unfortunately what I am getting in return is the following error:

That username is already in use or does not meet the administrator's standards. If you are admintw42 and you have forgotten your password, click here.

In this case I am logged in as admintw42 and filled out the form which then made an AJAX call to my form processor script which should be creating the thread.

Does anyone know what needs to be done to enable the script permissions as the user to create a new thread?

Source below - one thing I am not sure of is the line:

$threaddm->set_info('thread', $threadinfo);

This is my first attempt at this sort of thing so be easy on me please
