I am not familiar with the db structure of that old version but from the error it looks like groupid field is missing from the groupmessage table. I don''t know if that is a default field but added from a mod. But if I were to guess is that it is a default field that either has been dropped or no longer exists in the groupmessage table in the newer version.
