When posting a new topic in forums on my website (www.nonprofitcongress.org), I get the error

warning: sprintf(): Too few arguments in /usr/hm/DRUPAL-4-6-3/webroot/includes/database.inc on line 190.

user error: Query was empty
query:  in /usr/hm/DRUPAL-4-6-3/webroot/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/hm/DRUPAL-4-6-3/webroot/includes/common.inc:386) in /usr/hm/DRUPAL-4-6-3/webroot/includes/common.inc on line 194.

The post still goes up, but I'd like to figure out what the issue is so my site users don't get confused/frustrated.

Can anyone help me track down what this issue is and how to resolve it? Thanks!

I guess it is not a new installation, since it is 4.6. Did it work ok before? Any recent change, especially in the forum taxonomy vocabulary?

There are a couple of older issues with this error message (more than one year old), both having to do with the forum vocabulary, but they should have been resolved by now.

People often assumed that they could change just any settings in the forums vocabulary or even replace it with a new one with the same name. It was not so. The dangerous settings were removed in 4.7.

CogRusty,

Thanks for the reply. No, the installation isn't new, we host with Bryght and have not yet upgraded to 4.7 (or 5.0). Thanks for the links to the other discussions. I disabled free tagging of forum posts and things seem to be back to normal. Thanks for the help.
