So ActionView::Template::Error (First argument in form cannot contain nil or be empty) means that when you call your form_for, one of the variables you passed in was nil. That means either forum_thread or forum_post in this was nil <%= form_for [@forum_thread, @forum_post] do |f| %>
It looks like you've got the before_action to set the forum_thread variable, but none on the edit action (or update) to set the forum_post. So most likely the forum_post is nil causing it to throw that error. Set that variable and you should be all set!
