So - I have reuploaded ALL files except the config file. I re-ran all the upgrades - this resulted in my forum with no files (they were still physically there on hdd, but forum didnt see them and scan removed them), I can regenerate all the thumbnails and medium sized images so I know GD is working. Permissions for data and uploads and their subdirs are all working. Im using php 4.x and mysql 4.x I can move images from dir to dir, but I cant post comments or ratings - no error message - looks like it works, but then then page isnt updated. Safe mode is set to off. register_globals = On - It was off previously, but no change in problem. I can change values in the database admin section. Have run a check and repair on the database - no problems. Have manually looked at the database and data looks fine (ie nothing I can spot)

I get the same error regardless of what username I log in as.
Becoming frustrating as it is a members section for a friend of mine and we can no longer post updates
