Not sure that this applies to a certain mod but my forum was running fine and all of the sudden all of the posts in one of my forums is gone and trying to open any of the baords gives this error:

300 An Error Has Occured!: Unable to open .cat

Any ideas? Also, my member list shows no members, but I able to log in and all.

A few questions...

1) Do you have all your boards cat files for each forum?
2) Do you have the ctb file for each categorie (like kungfu.ctb)?

It sounds like your missing the latter.  Try this, either open the file, as an example, kungfu.ctb or create one in a text editor.  Make sure the name of the forum that it's in, in this case "arts" is named on the first line of the kungfu.ctb file.  If not put it there.  Save and upload.

Let us know how if it works.

The cat files are for the board, arts, general, etc...  If you have blank ctb files, you need to do wwhat I said in my first post and see if that works.  I think it will.

Remember, the ctb file is the category file.  It needs to have the name of the board that its in on the first line.  That name corresponds to the name of the cat file that YaBB needs to open.

Good luck.

Do you have the file SubList.pl?  Does it look anything like the original version when you first started to mod?  Can you post your SubList.pl file.  Just copy the code and put it in between thse

 tags.

You also might want to open up YaBB.cgi and make sure the sub yymain looks like this

 [code]sub yymain {
#### Choose what to do based on the form action ####
if ($maintenance == 1 && $action eq 'login2') { require "$sourcedir/LogInOut.pl"; &Login2; }
if ($maintenance == 1 && $settings[7] ne 'Administrator') { require "$sourcedir/Maintenance.pl"; &InMaintenance; }
### Guest can do the very few following actions.
if($username eq 'Guest' && $guestaccess == 0) {
      if(!(($action eq 'login') || ($action eq 'login2') || ($action eq 'register') || ($action eq 'register2') || ($action eq 'reminder') || ($action eq 'reminder2'))) { &KickGuest; }
}

if ($action ne "") {
      require "$sourcedir/SubList.pl";
      if ($director{$action}) {
            @act = split(/&/,$director{$action});
            $aa = $act[1];
            require "$sourcedir/$act[0]"; &$aa;
      } else { require "$sourcedir/BoardIndex.pl"; &BoardIndex; }
}
elsif($currentboard eq "") { require "$sourcedir/BoardIndex.pl"; &BoardIndex; }
else { require "$sourcedir/MessageIndex.pl"; &MessageIndex; }

exit;
} 

BTW, what did you do to get all these problems?  Server crash?

Did you run out of space on your server maybe?

LOL, well if you make the drive, I'll give you a free uniform!!
