Hey,

so I’ve finally got my Beast forum installed and everything seems to  
be working fine and dandy. The one issue I have is that I can’t seem  
to make a post.

When I submit my post, I get a “stack level too deep” error. From what  
I can see its stuck in a loop of something like:

vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active\_record/validations.rb:945:in  
`valid_without_callbacks?' vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/callbacks.rb:267:in`valid?’  
vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active\_record/associations/  
association\_proxy.rb:177:in `send' vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/associations/ association_proxy.rb:177:in`method\_missing’  
vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active\_record/associations.rb:1152:in  
`validate_associated_records_for_forum' vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/callbacks.rb:165:in`send’  
vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active\_support/callbacks.rb:165:in  
`evaluate_method' vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/callbacks.rb:153:in`call’  
vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active\_support/callbacks.rb:90:in `run' vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/callbacks.rb:90:in`each’  
vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active\_support/callbacks.rb:90:in  
`send' vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/callbacks.rb:90:in`run’  
vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active\_support/callbacks.rb:264:in  
`run_callbacks' vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/validations.rb:945:in`valid\_without\_callbacks?’  
vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active\_record/callbacks.rb:267:in  
`valid?’

etc etc

Any ideas guys? thanks in advance

what version does gem search rails emit?

what is Beast’s recommended version?

These kinds of questions should always show version info…

I’m using Rails 2.0.2 - does anyone know if Beast supports this?

The documentation on the Beast forum isn’t very good, plus I can’t  
seem to to sign up to the forums to ask for myself!
