ok after thinking about this long and hard, i have come to a conclusion....

i think i figured it out <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

ok you created the folders manualy right?

the ubb is suppose to create the folders on it's own, so in your ubb directory you should have a structure like this...

UBB
&#0124;
&#0124;-Forum1
&#0124; &#0124;-HTML
&#0124; &#0124;-ANNC (not always)
&#0124;-Forum2
&#0124; &#0124;-HTML
&#0124; &#0124;-ANNC (not always)


etc....

well if you created the forum2 folder then it would have the abiltiy to write the files in there, but if there was no html file it can't create the html, your server is having problems creating folders on it's own, so you have to do all the creating, once the folder is created, then the server has no problem writing files in it..

Get back to me once you've taken a look at this <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> thanks
