I downloaded everything from cvs and compiled it with jdk 5.0. Then I copied the whole WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib directories (and sub directories) into the system. I also overwrote the old /templates directory with the new one. Then I removed the log4j.jar and removed another jar which was duplicated (a RC1 which was replaced by a final version).

jForum is very clearly much faster now, but sending a test e-mail still throws the null pointer exception.

Sending an e-mail using the mail command works. The mail server is Postfix and mail finds it as localhost. The OS is Centos 4.1. Any ideas?

I am new to managing forums. How do I delete a posting that is off-colour?

How can you guys afford to put so much time into a project like jForum without any monetary returns? I don't even see ads on the site. Things like the hosting costs money, not to talk of your time. In any case, thanks for jForum.

Hmm.. the test mail problem was related to the ajax libraries, that were not loaded correctly.

If you are still having the problem, it may be a browser js caching issue. Try forcing a cleanup in the cache.
