<!--- UniqueNumber is used in links for forced refresh --->
<CFSET UniqueNumber = FormatBaseN( 10000*(now()), 36 )>

Anyone know why Forums doesn't work? on two separate machines, one running
CF4.0 and one CF4.5 forums refused to run because Allaire have used a
function that needs an integer (FormatBaseN) and given it a number with two
decimal digits! Having fixed this in the code (thanks for not encrypting it
Allaire) it then lets me in, only to fall over at the next hurdle (adding a
new thread) with the following message.
--------------------
Error:
Error occurred in tag CFINDEX
Collection failed to open: Forums_CFForums_Messages
The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of
(CFINDEX), occupying document position (9:2) to (17:2) in the template file
C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\FORUMS\FORMS\..\VERITY\_MESSAGE_UPDATED.CFM.
--------------------
1) Anyone know why Forums no longer works?
2) Is this why Allaire no longer support it, because it was easier to throw
it away than fix it?
3) Are there any viable alternatives to Forums out there?
