The mod was working fine a while back but now when I create a new node and click Discuss this, I get page not found... this is on new nodes. I don't even know where to start looking for what's causing this.

Still haven't got this solved, but come progress. Have found that the "Discuss this" link does not take usual site.com/discussthis/new/nodenumber form if I leave the "Forum topic for discussions on this node: " field empty in the original article. (Instead, it's form is site.com/node/nodenumber)
Checked the Discuss This settings and found that "Title for newly created Forum discussions: " is set to [node-title].

If I manually key in a value in "Forum topic for discussions on this node" it works fine. But isn't the [node-title] setting supposed to automatically create one if that field is left empty?
So something seems to have broken it.

OK, two more curiosities.

1) A custom node type I created currently contains a couple thousand imported nodes (via vBulletintoDrupal mod)... for these nodes, all the Discuss links work normally.

2) For the new nodes of the type I see the problem with (and only if I don't manually enter a Forum topic), the Discuss link not only omits "/discussthis/new" but always points to the same node number. It's always /node/1007954.

Any ideas what would do that?

OK, never determined what caused it, but did fix.
Went to the database and deleted every record referencing nid 1007954.
Now everything's working fine.

Maybe if it happens again I'll be able to get more info on what broke it.
