I know. That has another problem. Simply not all data is converted because the *.ctb is missing. I have to edit these manually. This is not a problem, just very time consuming. It will take a while until everything is back and I can only work on it hourly at a time. But I get it. Unfortunately there are a lot of files. There are around 8000 files where the *.ctb is missing.

I've already thought of that and it would actually be the easiest solution. The thing looks like this.

However, it is displayed Jan 1st, 1970 at 12:00am

This would be the correct entry 1168558593

Then the correct date will also be displayed in the footer and the ex-member is no longer an ex-member.

I calculated it manually and that is a significant effort. I need a program or website that calculates this automatically.

Works perfectly. Shows me all the data.

I also usually use Total Commander, but it couldn't show me more than 10,000 files, I don't know why, or I already know. Your server. It works without any problems on my server because it is a dedicated server that I can control as I want.

I can access SMTP with WinSCP, but not with Total Commander.

WinSCP is also free and freeware. You just have to be able to use the program. It's not easy.

Works!!!!  Normpo ---> Your Password

If you're in the forum, please don't do anything, otherwise you could destroy everything. Just look around, nothing more.

Overall, I suspect that part of the forum was already converted from a YaBB 1 version and mistakes were made here. This is also the reason why an incorrect date is displayed.

Excellent! WinSCP is the program that I use, which includes using it for regular backups of the YaBB 2.4 forum that I operate. Those backups have come in handy over the years ... makes quick work of restoring zeroed out, or missing membership files, for instance.

Great price! 

pyragony54 - I have sent you a PM with some additional questions about moving  my poetry forum to your server when you're finished resolving the issues you're working on.  Once again, thank so much for your help and advice.

Ah, ha! Got it.

More than likely, Bluehost has a file limitation based on various plans even though that isn't made public. But like other similar hosts, that company seems to be easily scalable; up or down either way depending on one's needs. If that's the case, then NormP can check with that company's support to find out.

I lease my own dedicated server that doesn't have file limitations other than space of course. I think I've been with the same hosting company for about 20 years or so (even as they went through different name changes).

About 7 years ago, it finally dawned on me that I really don't need my own server. After all, there are other viable, and more affordable web hosting options that are easily scalable; shared hosting, VPS hosting, cloud hosting, etc. I could even get a server that offers more, and that costs less than what I pay.

As a backup option, back in 2016 I moved a bunch of websites off the server I have to a company that seems similar to Bluehost. The pricing is quite reasonable, the service has always been good, and it even comes with self-installing forums.

As silly as this sounds, the only reason that I still lease that dedicated server is because of a YaBB forum that's on it. 

@ Bill Myers

The problem is something completely different that I didn't notice. A maximum of 10,000 files can be uploaded using FTP before the server closes. I then switched to ftps, it doesn't work either. But there are over 12,000 files in the forum. I'm trying with sftp now. If that doesn't work either, then it's Bluehost's fault. I can't adjust anything in the power panel either. I have to see now.

This is the reason why the conversion did not work completely and therefore an incorrect date is displayed. The funny thing is that for these posts the TXT file is not on the server, but the post is still shown. It's probably in the cache. I dont have a plan yet.

I don't have this problem on my server.

@ Normp


I'm not doing anything at the moment, I have to solve this problem first. If all else fails, you must contact Bluehost or I will offer you space on my server. It is ultra-modern. However, this is not free.
