    Hi,

    I am just setting up the EE forum module for the first time. I have set up a few forums and sub-forums and when I went to start a new topic, when I clicked submit, I got the following error:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined method Typography::format_characters() in /home/zzzzz/public_html/zzzz/modules/forum/mod.forum_core.php on line 2834

    I do not get this error when I Preview the post, only when I submit it. The forums listing page shows the topics as having been accepted, but when I try to access the topic to read the post, I get the same error, as above.

    I would welcome some assistance with this.

    I am running EE 1.6.4, but using the latest version of the forums module (downloaded today) - could this be causing an issue?

    That’s exactly what is causing the problem. The forum and EE version need to sync together.

    Go ahead an upgrade EE to 1.6.7, and give it a try again.

    Thanks Sue, I did wonder if that might be the case.  I always get nervous when I need to do an EE upgrade :( - but looks like I’ll have to bite the bullet!

    Cheers!

    Hi Sue… update completed successfully (phew!). Tested the forum, and the above error has now disappeared and I have a functioning (if crazily styled) forum 😊

    Many thanks for your help.

    Cheers!
