I checked my board this morning and there was some sort of wierd error. The board was saying out of disk space. Only the first 4 forums were displayed so i cleared my the board cache and rebuilt the index and all that jazz. The rebuild haulted because the disk drive was full and then all my forums dissapeared. I can't access the forums in the control panel or in the actual forum. The disk space problem was fixed and i can rebuild everything but still no forum listings ANYWHERE. HELP!

FTP into your site and check out your variables directory... how large is your vars_forums.cgi file?

well i thumbed around the directories and found the vars.forums.cgi file and i noticed that it was empty. Some how the file was corrupted and everything was deleted so i coppied the contents of a different file and put in all the default information. I can now edit the forums and change descriptions and names back to how they used to be.

here's a problem, the forum keeps crashing. I have plenty of disk space but for some reason the board keeps freaking otu and the forums dissapear. I keep a backup of the vars_forums file on my computer now but that file is now staying intact yet the forums dissapear. I'm baffled and my board has been down for days now.
