Rails - Dec 2005 - Model method_missing error (rforum)

I''m attempting to get rforum working.  I pulled it from the subversion 
repository.
Everything works fine until I attempt to make a post.

I get the following error.
c:/apps/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:1498:in
`method_missing''
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/topic_controller.rb:80:in `new''
c:/apps/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.11.2/lib/action_controller/base.rb:853:in
`send''
c:/apps/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.11.2/lib/action_controller/base.rb:853:in
`perform_action_without_filters''The code in topic_controller  def new  
...
else      @post = Post.new      breakpoint-->      @post.author = @user 
end  endThe author method isn''t found in the model post.rbYet it is
there.
So I go into breakpoint and examine the methods on Post and the @post 
instance, and find the only ones defined are the ones done with the Rails 
meta magic,like has_many, belongs_to?I examine the @forums instance and it 
has methods.What would cause rails to load post.rb and miss all the 
methods?--J Lambert

Sorry about the fancy outlook munged post.
Problem solved.
Removed SearchFerret from RForum site configuration and all is well with the 
world.
