thanks tha_watcha, how I do it to correct this error ?

I still get this error when go to Host Settings.

If possible you change the value directly in the Database or you change the code by replacing the line

return this._reg.GetValue("MaxPostSize", Int16.MaxValue);

with

return this._reg.GetValue("MaxPostSize", short.MaxValue);

in the File YafBoardSettings.cs
