It is usual business practice to offer even simple, odd bodd support to any one using one's product in order to get that someone to pay a premium price for any future products released - this is how you build customer loyalty and a growing longer-term user-base.
But, no bother.

yes, then it works.

Then an addon is causing this, I don't know which one but it will probably be one with 'porta' in the name. (xenPorta probably).

Well then that was the issue
You should contact the addon author to fix the issue if you want to use the addon.

Okay, so check that the latest version of the add-on is being used (and if not, upgrade it) - and if it's a very recent add-on try removing it completely and re-installing it (in case it was a bad file upload).
After that, as Liam has suggested, you'll need to find the XenPorta resource discussion and ask there.

Shaun

That is strange, I'll check the files myself now and see if it is an error in them.

Think I've found the bug, the $db instance in that file isn't initialised.
Try changing this:

Try changing this:

public function updatePromotion($input)
{
$dw = XenForo_DataWriter::create('EWRporta_DataWriter_Promotes');
if ($promote = $this->getPromoteByThreadId($input['thread_id']))

$dw->setExistingData($promote);
}
if ($input['delete'])
{
$dw->delete();
$db->query("DELETE FROM EWRporta_catlinks WHERE thread_id = ?", $input['thread_id']);
$this->getModelFromCache('EWRporta_Model_Caches')->emptyBlockCache(array('block_id'=>'RecentFeatures'));

Thanks. That seems to have solved that issue at leastI'm still experiencing template errors, though. Not sure why it would suddenly start doing that.
This is a shock indeed but I don't think its to do with the new last poster avatar custom mod you installed, I think we had a bug in XenPorta for some time, i.e. our earlier issue with this when we faced errors in that the moderator block was appearing fully when you placed XP's Recent Threads block on Thread and Forum pages... you'll recall.
But the error I mentioned erarlier is still there - you just add a new thread then go to that thread as admin, check that thread and click permanently delete on the pop up moderator block ... it says
'Global Discussion Forum - Error
.
The requested thread could not be found.'
And the template errors you are facing - these would also need to be eradicated, hopefully someone here can provide a fix for this issue as a whole...
Edit: Let me rephrase my question
What I'm trying to accomplish is to have have one forum that displays all threads as an article using a custom layout.
I checked this: Article (article-# > article > portal)
Categories (articles-#slug > articles > portal)
That seemed to work but I would also like to be able to promote regular threads that aren't in my article forum to the Recent Features slider without turning those threads into an article. If that's not possible is there a way to give articles in different forums separate layouts?
Thanks

Jaxel said use the latest X5 block, but, I already have the very latest version of XP on my site at www.gdf.tv and if I place the Recent Threads block on the threads and posts pages it doesn't allow the moderator block to pop up - the moderator block only pops up on the main page and on the main forum page? What to do?
Well, I just spent a couple hours trying to get the Articles block to work. I don't understand XenPorta I guess, just not intuitive to me. I want articles to pull from a forum. I edit the block, select that forum to pull from. The options are to show just the most recent 5. I add the block to portal. Nothing shows up. Ive pretty much changed every setting and it won't show up no matter what I do. I've tried promoting threads, nothing.

Isn't their a time cache setting? I always change it to 1min to get it to appear pretty much instantly while I am testing. Without seeing the installation, that would be my only guess.

Several problems here too but Jaxel nor any one else is giving support
