Create search index - The type initializer for 'Telerik.

Hi

As the title suggests,when attempting to create or edit search indexes, the following error message is being presented in an alert:

'The type initializer for 'Telerik.Sitefinity.Forums.Publishing.ForumsInboundPipe' threw an exception.'

I can say that the 'Forums' was deactivated (via the Modules & Services dashboard) after any existing search indexes were created, but I can't seem to create any new indexes neither now as this error is thrown whenever I try.

Is there anyway to overcome this issue, without having to activate the Forums module. We don't have a need the forum functionality hence the reason it was deactivated for potential optimization / performance reasons.

Thanks,

Brett.
