Is the forum part of the site broken?

Active Discussions and My Discussions lead to topics. However, if you select any Forum for a new topic (Advokit Info, Advokit Users, or Advokit Development) and post, the listing in the forum always states that the topic has been moved.

I hope I have fixed it...
Evidently, when we upgraded to Drupal 4.7.2, that brought along some problems with forums. It's only a problem for upgraded sites. It has to do with allowing topics to reside on multiple forums, so the first thing I did was disable that - I believe that topics can now only be on one forum. However that leaves a lot of topics that think they're on multiple forums. Several of them were assigned to forum #0, which doesn't exist, so I manually (in the database) changed them to a forum that does exist. So at least when you see the message "This topic has been moved", clicking on it will take you to a forum where you can view the topic.
If I understood the Drupal database better I'd clean those "moved topics", but at least we can all see the messages now.
Hopefully this will not appear on any new topics now that we have the restriction against listing topics in multiple forums.
