I have an error where everything works, but when my users try to submit new threads in forums where its not being used, they get the error message? anyone have any clues, im stummped.. I even rehacked it all and still got the same problem.

[Boofo]

Are you using the updated version or the first version in the first post? I am using the version from the first post and I just tried posting in a forum that doesn't have the prefix enabled in it and it did the new thread just fine.
