You need to go into Query analyzer for SQL and run this script against your database

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[wwfSpActiveTopics] (
@AuthorID int,
@GroupID int,
@GroupPerm int,
@dblActiveFrom datetime

)
AS
SELECT tblForum.Forum_name, tblForum.Password, tblForum.Forum_code, tblTopic.*
FROM tblCategory, tblForum, tblTopic
WHERE ((tblCategory.Cat_ID = tblForum.Cat_ID AND tblForum.Forum_ID = tblTopic.Forum_ID) AND (tblTopic.Last_entry_date > GetDate() - @dblActiveFrom))
 AND (tblForum.[Read] <= @GroupPerm OR (tblTopic.Forum_ID IN (
    SELECT tblPermissions.Forum_ID
    FROM tblPermissions
    WHERE tblPermissions.Author_ID = @AuthorID OR tblPermissions.Group_ID = @GroupID AND tblPermissions.[Read]=1))
    )
ORDER BY tblCategory.Cat_order ASC, tblForum.Forum_Order ASC, tblTopic.Last_entry_date DESC;
GO

I have found that active topics still does not work correctly though even in the latest verion
