UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 Mod Questions Real Important please respond quickly....

Ok i know this is in the wrong forum, but theres not support forums for 6.0....
My problem isnt a hack, i havent hacked my board in months...but out of no where a few of my forums (largest ones) all of sudden are having problems....

the largest forum has a software error in the...forum_8.threads on the last line...

i went in there and saw this
so apparently the problem is i need to finish off that code but dont know how...

===========
===========
and in the other forums, it says
different number for each forum....
now this has been easily solved, i just made up a make believe profile and it fixes...but my question is (besides the software error) why is this suddenly happening?
i did nothing, matter fact havent been in my cgi bin nor ubb in weeks.....

someone please help....
thank you

come mon now....this is a god dayum forum for support...but noone seems to help, unless it has to do with avatars or whos online.....

Maybe because we aren't Infopop. :rolleyes:

If you knew what hack was making it do that, then maybe we miiiiight be able to help.

Report it in UBB6 Bugs and open a support ticket at Infopop. Best thing you could do for this.

BTW, what version are you using? If it's anything below the current version, then I would suggest upgrading. Chances are what's causing that has been fixed.

im using 6.0
and its not a bug fix, my boards been up with no problems for months....

o well, i'll see whut i can do...pz

6.0, eh? that came out, what, 2 months ago now? latest version is 6.04e, buddy. upgrade and watch your problems magically dissapeer.

Why dont you just upgrade it seriously will fix alot of your problems just like Matt said

in the control panel, under the Maintenance tab, "rebuild the forum stat files" for forum 8 and that will fix your first problem (it deletes and recreates the _threads file).

in the same control panel tab, rebuild member stat files. that *might* fix your 2nd problem, im not sure.

clear cache after doing these 2 things and see if the problems remain.

aye buddy its called adding 15 hacks that i dont feel like doing....and reuploading 40,000 threads and 1700 member files with rankings....


anyway i find out the problem like an hour n half ago while clearing the cache i decided to try all of those maintence features...
anyway thanks jordo for ya help you were right.....
better then the other ****heads responses....

**votes 5 stars for jordo**

For the record, member files aren't touched in an upgrade. And neither are topics, aside from any template modifications you may have made.

Although, if you have more than the regular number of profile fields in there (past 30 or $user_profile[29]), you've got a prob.

Just some advice there.

i didn't know you had to re-upload all your threads and member files when you installed hacks. please accept my honest and sincere apologies. :rolleyes: oh, and it might not be wise to call a moderator a ****head next time, aight mah homie dawg??

dude.. how were we ****heads u didnt state anything bout that just explained ur problem ight so dont go haywire because u didnt tell us anything and anotha thing you posted twice saying no one helps in less then 12 hours.. sometimes it take longer so lighten up buddy and be careful of the mods cause matt could do something to u
