post-update posting problems

[NexusTwelve]

I recently installed 0.8 beta4. One of my users (with a userlevel of 0) tried to post and he said:

I tried to post and I got:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /hsphere/local/home/ekmesnz/dissentispatriotic.net/serendipity/include/functions_entries.inc.php on line 67

When I updated, I got a few error about not being able to write certain files or folders. After the update, the file/folder permissions seemed ok, and I was able to post fine (Userlevel of 255). Should I try re-installing? Would that help? Or is it easier than that?

I've looked up that line, and there it says "return $cat". Thus, the noted error message cannot possibly happen in the 0.8-beta4 release?!?

Can you reproduce the error somewhere, somehow?

I don't see a need for reinstalling, though.

Regards,

The same user that couldn't post was able to using Mozilla Firefox from a different computer. He uses Netscape on his home computer, it could be a browser-compatability issue or simply his computer, I'm not sure. Also, another user had the same (or very similar problem, he said the error message reffered to line 67, I assume it was the same file). The second user, as far as I know, uses Internet Explorer. I'm not sure, he might use Firefox, but I'll find that out and get back to you (if that changes anything at all).

WHatever problem it was seems to have worked itself out. For the first user, he can post fine. The second user's troubles (though in Firefox, not IE) were only with the 'preview' function (I was misinformed). It still seems to be an odd bug, but nothing terribly serious.
