in your "reply" action, you defined @parent:

def reply     @parent = Topic.find(params[:id]) end

but in your replyTopic action, you define "parent", which is a local variable, and not @parent: def replyTopic   parent = Topic.find(params[:parentID])   @topic = Topic.new(params['topic']) .... .... end

therefore Rails has no @prent variable in the "reply.rhtml" view to fill the forms, and throws an error.

the problem should be simply fixed by changing "parent" into "@parent" in the replyTopic action
