I'm running UBB 6.05 on a W2K server. Lately I've had a very strange issue come up. There are two things happening, and I'm not sure if the UBB has anything at all to do with the problem. But that's where the problem is mostly observed, like 99.9% of the time. It has been observed on the board and in the control panel. The only other place on the entire site where a similar problem has happened was our interior home page (
www.smgfan.com/index1.html) where one random image sometimes appears instead of the page.
Problem #1: Internal Server Errors galore - often when replying to a message, a user is confronted with an http 500 error - internal server error. Often the use can back up, re-submit and everything's fine. Or, it can take them several minutes to finally get it to go through.
Problem #2: Random Image Replacement: any image in the ubb folder may find itself suddenly changed to any different image file on the site, even images nowhere near the UBB folder. Imagine how interesting things get when this happens to the background image or the smilies.
The board was recently moved, but it did work fine for a few weeks after the move. There is a stars hack, but that was added 6 months ago and there were never any problems like this.
Here's the board:
