RESOLVED This is fixed. The cause and the change are written up in

Creating a new topic in ComBoard is currently failing. You fill in the

title and the body, press Create Topic, and no topic appears.

The fault is in the form submission path, not in the database. Creating a

topic directly through the forum's own module API works and writes a clean

record, so the storage layer is healthy. The forum's rate limiter is not

tripping either: no topic action has ever been recorded in its log, which

means submissions are not reaching the point where a topic gets written.

Reading the board, registering and logging in are unaffected. Nothing has

been lost, because nothing was written.

There is none yet. If you have a topic you want to post, hold onto the text.

Anything you write once this is fixed will go in normally.

If you hit it, the most useful things to report are the exact text shown on

screen after pressing Create Topic, which subforum you were posting in, and

which client you were browsing with. The client matters: this node is

reachable from the NomadNet terminal client and from MeshChatX, and they do

not handle page form fields the same way.

This post will be updated as the fix progresses.
