Application Error

[Ezaco]

When submitting a new application on my forums I receive the below error.

INSERT INTO `forums_topics` ( `start_date`, `last_post`, `starter_id`, `starter_name`, `last_real_post`, `last_poster_id`, `last_poster_name`, `forum_id`, `approved`, `state`, `views`, `pinned`, `featured`, `posts`, `topic_queuedposts`, `topic_hiddenposts`, `title`, `title_seo`, `topic_open_time`, `topic_close_time` ) VALUES ( 1540421718, 1540421718, NULL, 'Col Penny', 1540421718, 2, 'Col Penny', 33, 1, 'open', 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 'PERSCOM: New Application From Jacob Penny', 'perscom-new-application-from-jacob-penny', 0, 0 )

The application does go through in PERSCOM, but it does not create a post.

Will look into this error.

I've looked into this error as well as your stack trace and cannot reproduce it. Looking at the data trying to be inserted into the DB, the author of the forum topic is partially set. The author name came across but the author ID did not. This is what triggered the 'starter_id' cannot be NULL error. I find this quite strange because the author name and ID are passed in the same object, not separately. Also, important to note, this error is from code in IPB, not PERSCOM. Have you been able to reproduce it? Or anyone else dealt with this error?

My best advice at this point, log out, clear your cache and re-log back in to reset the loggedIn user object.
