UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 6 Support ERROR message, board ran for 5 years

running version 6.5.0 on www.hardcorewebsite.net (music site). Just got error below and unable to add, respond, edit posts.

I tried to clear cache and rebuild search but didnt solve problem. I tried rebuild forums and got the same error.

Any ideas on a fix ? Would the upgrade work or is this bigger?

An error has occured:

Can't find string terminator "!" anywhere before EOF at CGIPathNonCGI//cache-2J3W43NY/search_index/forum1_recentmeta.cgi line 1823.

Delete the offending file, and rebuild your forum stat files for forum 1

Then upgrade to 6.7. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Excellent. Worked, took 2 minutes.

I have the upgrade file but was waitinf for something more substantial in an upgrade. It takes me about 30 mins to upgrade and I didnt see anything I really needed other than the multiple moderator increase and thats not enough. Yet <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

On the next upgrade I will most likely do an install unless you think its highly advised.

Thanks, Vic

Going to 6.7 is indeed highly advised. As a general rule, it's always best to keep up to date. We often include bugfixes and other items in large updates that are not listed in the change log.

6.7 contains a number of bug, stability, and security fixes (when compared to 6.5).
