Steps:

1. Download and install latest version from codeplex
2. Open Admin > Forums > Settings> Forums section,
3. Create new forum by clicking on "New Forum" button. Do not click on "New category" button.
4. Add name, description, sort order, etc. and click save button.
5. Next, immediately delete this newly created forum

I got a modal window popup and it did not close ever after 60 minutes.

This was on chrome browser.

After one hour, I opened a new tab and it seems the newly created forum was deleted (atleast on the front end).

Forum is being deleted in a separate thread. The windows is outdated. There should be a warning that deleting is sheduled.

Thats incorrect, the task is immediately executed. The Window is not outdated.

Do you mean latest release or latest source code? Because i can not reproduce it with the latest source code. But i guess the javascript is broken in the current release.

I have some doubts, because I myself was writing task blocking fuctionality. It has a good chance to be executed immediately.

The latest source code from codeplex: 55ce45ad1b4a

I built it by running the build.bat file.

I was again able to reproduce this bug in Firefox browser. After clicking the confirm delete popup, it shows

Few seconds later I noticed it loaded something in backend. But the message window above does not close automatically even after one hour. The forum gets deleted (or atleast does not show up in frontend). Possibly javascript is not loading correctly to close modal window.

Do you get any javacript errors in the error console?

I also have that problem.
The JS console says : "unable to parse reponse from server" the error is triggered in ScriptResource.axd.

Inside the Yaf logs we have :
System.InvalidCastException:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.DBNull' to type 'System.Byte[]'.
at YAF.YafResourceHandler.GetResponseLocalAvatar(HttpContext context)

looks like a server error was thrown, that caused this JS error.
in DB, in the stored SP 'yaf_forum_move',
the line : 'exec [dbo].[yaf_topic_move] @tmpTopicID,@ForumNewID,0, -1;'
needed another argument which is the '@UTCTimeStamp'.
i set that argument to optionnal, and now it seems to be working.

And also, in yetAnotherForum/pages/admin/deleteforum.ascx.cs, around line 290,
there is a '// TODO : Handle Error Message?!' ;)
