A critical parameter, to_member_id_0, was missing.
when I post to the Forums. I'll try to unwind the patches (I did a backup a few weeks ago)
Reply to Forum Post works fine, but a New post fails with: A critical parameter, to_member_id_0, was missing.
EDIT ——-
hotfix-4135, 2020-02-19 5pm.tar causes "A critical parameter, to_member_id_0, was missing." on a New Post to Forums.
I was able to reverse the patch by copying last weeks files specific to this patch, back into place.
That's a wrap on testing and bug reports. That was my wake-up call. If I didn't have that backup, that would be the end of my website and a few months of customizing, and nearly 300 Members (average 6 new per day). I can code a bit, but not enough to fix a weird problem like "A critical parameter, to_member_id_0, was missing." For most people, customizing and fixing light bugs in a CMS is exactly like playing Russian Roulette. I love Composr and I'm looking forward to v11. I'm hoping at that point there will be a database conversion app to convert v10 to v11 fresh install (that's my plan). I've absolutely butchered / slaughtered v10 css, but it allowed me to create the website look I want. I'm hoping that when v11 comes out, I can run an updater for the database only, and then I can correctly edit the css in the right way. In that way, I can take the entire v11 look but keep my v10 database (converted to v11).

I do not like it when users find an assortment of bugs, but at the same time bigger systems have more potential for bugs.
I do need to stress though that nobody is advocating installing hot fixes without care. Next to each hot fix it says:
"Always take backups of files you are replacing or keep a copy of the manual installer for your version, and only apply fixes you need. These hotfixes are not necessarily reliable or well supported."
v11 will include upgrade capabilities from v10 and should do what you need.

I've just updated the hot-fix. If you want to check it just make sure you backup any replaced files
