i downloaded the fresh cvs (today) and add the (3 or 4) latest patch and try to test. i can display multichoice page created before. i can edit a quiz page created before ..but i cannot save any change (better, i cannot save the page back even if nothing is changed). My PHP cry:
Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /var/www/htdocs/mysite/includes/common.inc on line 904
that region in includes/common.php is for
function format_date($timestamp, $type = 'medium', $format = '', $timezone = NULL)
and line 904 (latest Drupal 4.7) is
$timestamp += $timezone;
i'm still investigating but don't know exactly what to look for. i think it has something to do with the new date management (or maybe is it a Drupal bug ?)

Hey gilcot,

I saw that you were able to resolve your other issue. Can you confirm if this was taken care of as well, or if it is still a problem? I'm guessing the problem was by database inconsistencies and that this would be resolved now?

still investigating.
i can create quiz now (i think it has something todo with the db schema updating) ;)
always that Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /var/www/htdocs/mysite/includes/common.inc on line 904 when i try to edit a quiz. i come from http://localhost/mysite/admin/node ! i've just reinstalled Drupal files ...w/o success :(
i'm checking all my tables : sometimes i'm having error reports about unserialize index...
maybe s.t with php5 ?

sorry, this bug is not a true bug. both MySQL and Drupal are ok. the guilty was my php install, and i find it when setting up phpMyAdmin : i no longer had mbstring extension since a month !
i was able to produce the same bug with other computers with the same config. Drupal documentation should add that as a requierement : mbstring because Drupal is UTF only oriented (common.inc was not able to compare some strings -and i guess now the reason of unserialise errors). saying that, what are the other modules requiered with PHP ; where can i found that list ?
