The son of a deceased member of my boards was looking up some of his dad's old posts. I never noticed this error, but my consigliere said:
paul's son was online and i pm'd him... he said he was looking for some of paul's old threads and when i went to get him some links to them, i got this error message:

the message comes up trying to access most of the old threads
I have recently been trying to delete some /www/ubb/Forums, but haven't touched /cgi-bin/vars_display.cgi (it's still there) or any other .cgi files. Those files shouldn't even been looked at, should they, with the redirector scripts? I thought you only needed the 2 redirect scripts and could safely delete all the other Classic files...?
