Send an e-mail to admin@bmwr65.org if you get the following error message:

Something bad has happened. Please inform the Admin of this forum of what you were doing when this error occurred.

Not sure what is going on but two users are generating this error and looking at their config files shows one of them hosed...  If you contact me I can get some info from you and recreate...

Shows him as an ex-member .

I hope it's a glitch! Would hate to see Barry leave us!!!

Like my wife says. " smart guys are hard to come by". She should know, says she has, "been look'n for years"

I mentioned this a few weeks back during some of the forum problems.  I've gotten it again a few times this last week. Maybe completely unrelated but I did find I had a screenshot shot.

It almost looks like a sad face sitting in the file....?

bhogsdon and oconner are the two that have shown up in the error log but I can't fix them unless I hear from them...

A hacker / spammer get loose on the forum ??

According to YABB codex the file that got hammered is usually caused by a server glitch.  The codex indicated that if there was a hiccup on the server while this file was open it often gets zeroed out.  I can copy a file from a different user and modify it but I need the people to contact me so I can e-mail them a new password.

I was able to pull their user data files from the last backup.  I looked for other 0 byte files and found none so this would not be what happened to Barry.  Does anybody know what his screen name was?

[Justin B.]

Strange, I don't show Barry to be an ex-member...

Bob, where did you see him as an ex-member?

[BPT]

Tunnelrider mentioned it in a post and I also see it wherever I see his name.

Ok, Justin, I take that back.  I just looked and Barry's status is back to normal now. But I think even this morning it was still showing him as an Ex Member. And it blacked him out, you couldn't click on his name or anything.

[wilcom]

any thread that he was on showed him as an X-member and when I went to the member list by name ... he wasn't listed,,,,,,,,,, that was last night or this morning

[Justin B.]

Interesting, when I checked a little while ago everything looked OK.

[Justin B.]

Heh, funny stuff...

bhodgson IS Barry and I didn't look at his account until after I restored a data file.  That explains much...

[Rob Valdez 79 R65]

I would have bet five quid that bhodgson was Barry's name.
