I got a complaint from some members that one of the forums was not letting them post, so I tried it myself, went into the forum, and tried to post a reply to a topic. The page freezed there like it was taking a lifetime to be posted. I went to maintenance in cp and tried to do forum stats for that forum, but even that didn't help, as the page would again freeze (making it look like I was with a 14.4k modem). I opened ftp and saw that in that forum, there was a number 000009.cgi which had 0 bytes. Wierd?! After I removed that from the server, the forum began to work fine as once.

A bug or not, frankly I didn't like it and I don't want this to happen again <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Cheers and regards to you and your work CC.

A couple of questions on this:

Did you run out of disk space?
What version?

1. Nope, I have a limit of 1.000 MB hosting space, and the forum is around 200 MB (or less).

2. The latest version of ubb, 6.3.1.1

By the way, here's the list of the hack that are installed in this board (but I don't think it's caused by any of them).

Stats, Calendar, Gradient Bar, Welcome PM, UbbNews and Shoutbox.

That stats hack is a server killer - I'd advise removing it.

The symptoms you describe don't match up with the dead topic file - there should have been no impact whatsoever...

Please ask your hosting provider if they did experience an out of space condition around the time of the error. Remember, just because you're paying for that disk space doesn't actually mean that your provider actually makes it availalable. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ok, after your advise I'm considering to remove the stats hack. If there is another hack that I should remove for improving speed and stability, just tell me.

I'll check with the hosting about the space.
Thank you for your support. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
