Hi all,

I have a clean install, haven't done much but tinker around with the site. However, I cannot successfully update my profile, I receive an error: "There has been a serious error loading the forum. No further information is available."

The event log shows the message below, and after browsing the source, it would appear to be related to the line "this.TimeZones.SelectedValue.ToType()," in EditUsersProfile.ascx.cs, based on it seems to be the only thing using "ToType". I should note that the profile information is updated when I come back in, but the time zone is not. I've tried in Chrome and Firefox, but get the same result. I've also tried selecting a few different time zones, but they all result in the same error.

I am using the downloaded install package version, not the source and publish, so I haven't altered any code.

Which version did you use? This issue is already been fixed with the latest version 2.2.4.5

From the Version Check admin page:

Your YAF.NET Version: 2.2.4.5 (Date: 11/18/2017).

The Latest Stable Version is: 2.2.4.5 (Date: 11/18/2017).

Okay looks like i fixed that issue after the release of version 2.2.4.5. Version 2.2.4.6 is online!

Thanks!

So I'm very new to YAF and this is the first time I've had to upgrade.

I followed the instructions here:

https://github.com/YAFNET/YAFNET/wiki/Upgrade- (from-Version-1.9.5.5-or-above)

But it resulted in the error below. Find in Files only returned CHANGES.MD and YAF.DotNetNuke.Module.dll containing the string "2.2.4.5", if that's of any help...assuming it's not a matter of me screwing something up! I downloaded the Upgrade Package, deleted the appropriate folders from the forum root, and extracted all from ZIP into forum root.

FYI, I figured the function was just working through each DLL and since I don't use DNN I just deleted the DLL and my forum is working fine, including being able to update profile and save time zone.

Also, not that it actually matters, but because people will probably complain, I noticed that it remembers the UTC offset, but picks the first one. For example, I selected Eastern US and it shows Bogata; both are -0500 so it doesn't actually matter, but just so you know :)

Thanks again!

Yes sorry that dll should not be part of the download packages. I removed it and updated the downloads
