It appears that after manual fixing I got it to work except for the board icons which simply refuse to appear (only standard folder icon). Creating a new board will give me all the necessary fields and create a new line in forum.control. But even clicking edit on that one shows me a boardscreen page with no fields to edit. A rough guess is that something was changed concerning the icons. But since there's no error message and since I was unable to find the handling of the boardscreen action I'm totally lost about fixing this crucial editing function. Hoping for any help from out there... thanks in advance. Help! My board stopped working https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1669394255 YaBB Development & Mods/sup261 https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1669394255 Sat, 16 Sep 2023 21:44:25 GMT Did you ever resolve this? Our board went the same way, initially just turned to text and would not allow me to log in, then disappeared altogether, now just an error message. I tried a thread on here but nobody ever replied.

See below the answer. Quote: <div>Dear Pieszyce, Thank you for forwarding it. Perl is indeed not available on the new servers, so that's going to cause problems. So with that, there is a chance it won't work. You could leave the forum online for now and in some time archive it as HTML files and so that Perl is no longer needed. Kind regards, Marijn </div> Dandello, I don't understand what he means, does he mean I have to archive 97,933 manually? The question is then is that possible and what after that, the forum won't work anymore. I think it would be better to create another domain name and move the Yabb forum to another provider, one that doesn't want to be so modern. What do you think??

Newer versions of Linux do not always support "quota" system calls. This system command is used by YABB in Admin/Settings_Advanced. After some work and dubbing the code I came up with the following. And my forum was working again. my @find = qx(find . -noleaf -type f -printf "%s-"); ## ## 9/2021 - jpl I had dificulty here the qx command with 'quota' did not work, went to old school backticks $hostusername = $hostusername || (split(/ +/, qx{ls -l YaBB.$yyext}))[2]; ## @quota = qx(quota -u akassoc -v); ## @quota = `quota -u $hostusernm -v`; ## ## fudged because quota doesn't work #@@quota = ('Disk quotas for', ' user (uid akassoc)', 'none'); @quota = ('Disk quotas for user akassoc (uid xxxxx):', 'Filesystem size ', '/home3/akassoc 5,000MB ', '/home3/akassoc.../yabb2 500MB'); The above is a "fudge" not necessarily a great fix but a practical fix. Another problem I encountered was with a newer version of PERL, newer versions of PERL reserve "{}" in regex. I needed to search the YABB PERL sources, and add "\" infront of "{}" where applicable. I wrote a PERL string search tool to search and report through the YABB directory structure wherever the "{}" were used so I coould correct the problems. After completed everything worked correctly no issues, problems or crashes, and most of all no complaints from the member's. I hope this helps, Best wishes, JP Langan Where to change text in Guest Message https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1647346074 YaBB Development & Mods/sup261 https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1647346074 no-email@yabbforumsoftware.com (Pieszyce) Tue, 15 Mar 2022 15:07:15 GMT Dandello, Thank you very very much, i know what to do now.
