I’ve uploaded v. 0.55 which *should* fix the problem you were experiencing.

So, I think I figured out what the problem is. A feature we recently added (the ability to send GET variables to the form in order to pre-fill in selected fields) has resulted in a bug on the script when used on WP blogs with the default permalink structure in place.

I’ll have to work on fixing the bug and releasing a new version of FormBuilder as soon as possible.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention,
James.

I “solved” the problem in the meantime. Let me summarize what I’ve done:
I usually just copy the plugin files from project folder to project folder without checking for new updates (I’m using to many plugins unfortunately) but this time I noticed the wordpress alert, that there were a new version available. At this moment (1 month ago) I was using 0.42 without any errors or problems. Just thought a new version couldn’t be too bad. Well, right after I activated the new version 0.54 suddenly everybody could see the error messages of all fields without doing anything, just loading the website which is bad, because they have to appear only if someone forgot to fill out a required field.

That’s when I was asking for help. I followed Sheldon Kotyks advice and managed to delete all database tables and could downgrade to 0.53 - again same problem. Wanted to downgrade to 0.52 but saw that it wasn’t recommended to use it so I installed 0.50 which still didn’t change anything until I came back to where I’ve started: 0.42
This version works fine, without any bugs or errors I could complain about.

Same facts you could need:
I’m using wordpress version 2.3.1 with the german language pack. Other plugins I’ve activated/in use:
+ External Links
+ Frame Buster
+ Google Analytics
+ Google XML Sitemaps
+ intouch extended
+ WP-ContactForm (de)
+ wpSEO

Webspace is on hosteurope.de “WebPack M”

Hope I could help you. Feel free to ask further questions.

I’m now back from vacation and would be happy to try and help you through resolving this problem. Can you let me know where things are at with it?

I will need to know what version of FB you’re currently running, what steps you have already taken, and all errors you are seeing.

Thanks a bunch,
James

I think it may be the version option that makes FB think it is just ttrying to upgrade. I’ll get James to look into this deeper when he gets back from his holidays.

Rule #1. Never ever ever, mess with blogs around Christmas time. Nothing ever works properly and all the techies take a few weeks off.

I know what its like to have things go wrong though so I’m feeling the pain with you.

I think there may be something else in the database you’ll want to remove to let it know that it needs to setup the tables again. Just a second.
