State the nature of your problem: A fatal MySQL error appears when deleting a challenge.
Do you have a test account for us? I'm sorry. I don't. D=

Firstly I want to apologize for posting this. I've looked all over for this sort of problem, but I can't seem to find anything remotely similar to this. I feel silly asking for help when I know it's probably something that is staring me right in the face. But I just can't seem to figure out the problem and it is bugging me to no end right now.

I recently installed the Challenge Moldule (version 1.4) and it installed correctly (at least to my knowledge). To test it I made a test challenge to see if everything was alright and worked correctly. Once I saw that it uploaded okay and I was able to respond to it with another small test I went and deleted it.

Now this is where this problem comes in:

A fatal MySQL error was encountered.
Query: SELECT challenges, sid FROM fanfiction_stories WHERE FIND_IN_SET(3, challenges) > 0
Error: (1054) Unknown column 'challenges' in 'field list'

To make a note first I tried this three different times so where it says "WHERE FIND_IN_SET(#, challenges)" the # was different. First time it was 1, second time it was 2, and etc. Don't know if this'll make a difference, but I thought I'd say something.

Here's the funny thing. I refresh out of the page and go to try to delete again, but it isn't there. The challenge was deleted, but the Fatal MySQL error popped up anyway. I wondered if I had the Debug on so I went in to turn it off, but it was off. Now I'm puzzled.

I've tried looking in myPHPadmin, but I can't find the problem at all of what it's saying in the error. As I said, it's probably staring at me right in the face. ]x

Also. Don't know if this'll help, but here's the link to the exact url of where the error pops up: Error Page

Again, I apologize. But thank you in advanced for the help! It'll be much apperciated.

Something's wrong with your install.  There should be a field in the stories table called challenges.  It seems to be missing.

I guess I should've known not to get my hopes up on this challenge module. I've been having the darnest trouble.

I've did some editing here and there and playing around and after a frustrating hour, I finally fixed it.

Thanks a bunch, Tammy. =]
