***The Barrow-Wight*** · 01-23-2003, 12:33 PM

We are having some serious technical difficulties with the forum To aid us in our repairs, please list any problems you are experiencing. Include any error messages you get and the circumstances that led to the error.

We will not be answering individual notices.

Have patience, and we will have the forum whole again ASAP.

****EDIT****
I'll try to delete those topics that mention errors I have fixed. That way, only active errors will be showing here.

I've already sent you an email, but I guess I'll just post again.

1) Unable to send PMs or post new topics/posts
2) Unable to view certain threads- I get a blank screen when I try to open the third page of the "How do you deal out YOUR bones" thread

Phew! I thought it was my PC.

Much the same:

1. Trying to get to some pages - got error messages (see below).

2. On others - just got a blank screen or a message about an account having expired.

3. Also - some pages were cut off - wouldn't scroll down to the end.

4. Unable to post reply - just got an error message.

5. In the end, I couldn't get on to the forum at all - kept getting error messages (which is why I've been logged on all day - couldn't get in to log out!).

This all happened between 1 and 2am UK time on 23 January 2003.

One of the error messages (which I emailed to the address given) was:

Content-type: text/html

Software error:

/home2/barrowwight/www/ubb/Forum5/forum_5.threads did not return a true value at /home2/barrowwight/cgi-bin/ubb_lib_posting.cgi line 102.

Seems to be working OK now. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] For the time being anyway.

It's helpful to us if you cut-and-paste error messages as the Saucepan Man has done. Thanks.

Please only post problems that are current, and be specific to thread, forum, and member # if applicable.

Thanks!

Hopefully PMs are working now. Please report any continued errors.

Thanks
