My old site provided a UBB board and it was version 5.38a. They set it up in 1999. The site was basically an archive after it filled up the 350 meg capacity, so it just sat there, but people could still reference old posts. Then the site started having problems, so I started downloading the board to my computer in case the site might crash. It did. They had no backup for the board.
I had downloaded all the members and forums and posts first, so I have all that. I was downloading the files that run the board, but I don't think I got them all. The doc for installing 5x version talks about 4 Vars files, and I have none. It talks about cplinks file, I have none. Now I don't know what all files I missed when downloading before the crash.
So, my question is, in the member area, is there still a 5.38a version to download? Or is there a list of all files I should have for that version? Am I going to get the Scotty answer, "No, sir, we don't have parts for anything that antiquated?" <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Is there a way to set up archive forums on a new board and put these old threads there? I don't need the members, really, but I would like to save the posts. Any ideas?
Thanks
