UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic [Archived] UBB.classic Bugs [FIXED - 6.6.0 BR2/FINAL] Can't Delete Forum 6.6

I tried deleting a forum after upgrading to 6.6 and got this message:

Could not find a forum_thread_data file for the following thread and forum: (0024 07), 4 at /home/cybertlc/Forums/cgi-bin/ubb_lib_files.cgi line 732 main::GetThreadData() called at /home/cybertlc/Forums/cgi-bin/ubb_lib_files.cgi line 608 main::GetTodaysActiveTopics called at /home/cybertlc/Forums/cgi-bin/cp2_forums.cgi line 345 main::cp2_page_forums_tab_delete called at /home/cybertlc/Forums/cgi-bin/cp2_lib.cgi line 172 main::AutoHandle called at cp.cgi line 490 main::__ANON__() called at Modules/Error.pm line 368 eval {...} called at Modules/Error.pm line 367 Error::subs::try() called at cp.cgi line 493

What's that mean?

Now none of my forums work!!!!!

I put in a suppport ticket but my forums do not work anymore due to this error!!

MAJOR BUG!

Does anyone know how to help??

Boy, I'm glad I decided to run through the forums today... I left my email client on at work, so I can't get anything this weekend, such as notifications of new posts in this forum...

For the rest of you... the fix for this is:
1) Don't delete any forums in the beta, just to be safe... <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

or

2) If you get this error, delete everything in the NonCGI/cache-/search_index directory that isn't a forumindex#.cgi file, then rebuild forum metadata.

I'll verify that this is fixed on Monday.

OKay, I've injected a bit of code into 6.6 BR2/Final that should prevent this from happening again.

For record keeping, this is in rv151.
