Error when attempting to create a group

While here:

I click on here:
http://www.80sxchange.com/forums/group.php?do=create

And received the following error:

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /home/eighties/public_html/forums/group.php on line 803

Any ideas?

Thank you.....

To troubleshoot this, first reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server. Also be sure to upload the admincp files to whichever directory you have set in your config.php file. Then run 'Suspect File Versions' in Diagnostics to make sure you have all the original files for your version and that none show 'File does not contain expected contents':

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions

[Note: In some cases you may also need to remove any of the listed .xml files in the includes/xml directory.]

Next, disable all plugins.

Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Do you have the same problem?

Hi Steve,

Thank you for your prompt response. I went directly to the "define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);" routine because I had a feeling that would work - and it did. So this means I need to figure out which plugin is affecting the system.. Correct?

Would you be able to say which type of plugin may affect this area of the system?

Thanks again...

Just a note.. I disabled Miserable Users - and now it works...

update: I updated the mod with the 3.7 version and all is well..

Thanks again...
