Hi, Thanks for the tip, i tried adding the user as the argument, i tried the following: new_post = pform.save(user=request.user) new_post = pform.save(user) new_post = pform.save(request.user) and a few other things...
Now i just get the following save() takes at least 2 arguments (2 given) Any ideas?
