 * I just tried to activate this plugin on another site of mine (have used it for
   bp in the past on other sites) and I got this error. Any idea what it could be?
 * `Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in /var/www/mydomain.
   com/wp-content/plugins/u-buddypress-forum-editor/u-bp-forum-editor.php on line
   90`
 * Thanks in advance.

 * I seem to have fixed it. Go to the file specified, go to line 90 and delete the&
   character (called an ampersand).
 * Activate the plugin and it should be working.
