No errors, there aparently were some hard crashes about a month ago because I found a few core dump files but that was it. The file in question is a simple ASCII file that just associates a board entry with the author, date, e-mail, etc, and points to a file number which contains more info and IT points to another file which is the actual thread. The file was just empty so I don't know if it got clobbered and recreated when somebody did a test post or if it was there all along and just the contents went bye-bye. Since the particular section had a new post made I have no way of telling by the timestamp on the file so we'll never know!
Here is the entry for this thread:

I can do geek-speak because I used to be quite good at this sort of thing in another life...
