Community Abuse Report Gadget - Null reference error

Hi all,

I am receiving a null reference error when using the Community Abuse Report gadget. The gadget seems fine when there are no reports, but after a report is added it causes a 500 error.

The error points to line 58 in the EPiServerCommunity\Views\Abuse\Report.ascx control:

Line 58:  <%= Html.ModerateModeLink(caseItem.SnapshotItem.Author,

Line 59:  Html.Thumbnail(caseItem.SnapshotItem.Author.Image, 36, 36, Html.StripHtml(caseItem.SnapshotItem.Author.Header).Ellipsis(20)
                  , Html.GetDefaultAuthorImageUrl(caseItem.Item.IsSystemEntity),       "epi-abuseGadget-authorIcon"),

Line 60:                             "epi-linkBlue")%>

I am adding the reports like so:

IReport report = new EPiServer.Common.Reporting.Report(EntityToReport, new UserAuthor(CurrentUser), txtDescription.Text);
report = ReportHandler.Instance.AddReport(report);

Where EntityToReport is of type IReportableEntity and is a forum Topic entry.

Has anyone encountered this problem before? Or can anyone suggest what I can do to fix this?

Thanks,

Martin

Can you see what it is that is null when this happens? If not, perhaps you should contact EPiSupport for further assistance.
