Hi Dave,
I think I foumd one little quirky issue.
I created a thread with the link. Then, since it was misplaced I had to realign the categories (if this then this stuff). Then I deleted the old thread and tried to create a new one and it comes up with an error when it gets to the forum because that thread does not exist anymore.
How can I reset the link on the article to create a new one now?
Thanks in advance!
Brian

What's happening is it's remembering that it already created a thread and where the original thread was and trying to redirect people there still. I doesn't know the threads been erased.
The easiest thing to do is make a backup of /data/goforum.dat, then edit it, find the line that refers to that invalid link, and erase it. Next line someone clicks on the link, it will re-create the thread.
If you want it to "forget" and re-create all the threads you can just erase /data/goforum.dat entirely.
Hope that helps.

Thanks Dave. I just happened to be looking at that file when you wrote this.
Since they are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... would it matter if the number 1 was not there? Or really any number not being in sequence?
The reason I ask is for future reference. If number 1920 gets corrupted can I delete that line and leave out that number in sequence?
At this point I am just planning on letting it recreate every thread. But later on that would not be easy. Hence the question.
Thanks again!
Brian

No, it doesn't matter if a record is removed or the order in the datafile isn't in sequence. It will all still work fine.

In the main script you say...
# Note: If you don't have FindBin installed, comment it out and uncomment the line
# below it. Be sure to enter the filepath to your cgi-bin dir first, though.
Surely you mean the exec directory rather than the cgi-bin? As I do not have any AM files in my cgi-bin.

That's right, I meant to say "cgi directory", not "cgi-bin". : )

Thanks.
Sadly it doesn't work :(
Getting an internal server error, when trying to run the script - I have checked the permissions and all okay.
I do not think it is getting as far as logging into threads - but even when I set the configured to 0, I see get the internal error. On threads, I assume the category is just a digit(s), rather then the category name, and the forum name is the keyword, rather than the actual forum name.
Any thoughts?

Hmm, looks like there may be a typo on that line in the code. Make sure you have a "; on the end of your $Bin path. Like this:
$Bin = "/www/hosts/www.yoursite.com/htdocs/cgi-bin/";
And see if that helps.

Thanks - you were correct :)
BTW - in threads you have to disable the html, as it is make the output look rather poor - sadly this means the eventual text is somewhat bunched up. Despite this one space was copied over as - weird!
