How come I had 40 boards, but after upgrading to 6.04c, there are only 9 boards left? What's wrong?

Hopefully you have a backup copy of vars_forums.cgi... it sounds like you copied over the one you had.
If you are upgrading a version 6+ forum, you don't have to upload that file, or it'll run over your forums each time....

Do you believe in love at first sight,

I feel your pain since the instruction didn't state anything of a sort about this "vars" file. But anyhow, I have upgraded from 5.47d to 6.04 and at one point I didn't any of my forums.  This was after rebuilding the boards. So had to do the whole process again. But I do recall from the other server I was upgrading the board that I did in fact, overwrote that file and I clicked on the UBB5 upgrade and it worked. It seemed to me that it's looking for the date.pl file when I moved the board over to another server. JD
