hello Rolex

delete the file then rebuild all stats that should do the trick

also you might consider upgrading since later versions include fixes to stop this from happening.

Thanks.

File don't created.

rebuild forum stats after deleting that file... you can choose that forum specifically

"Rebuild Forum Stat Files" - ending by error!
My Forum including 2500 threads (files).
I have deleted 2000 *.cgi files - the rebuilding process was an immediate success.
But how I can do it with 2500 files?

Rebuild forum stats in 6.03 doesn't rebuild the .threads file. After rebuilding the stats, delete the .threads file, then visit the forum via the frontend. It will take a while to build, but it should work.

After that's fixed up, upgrade to a more modern version... 6.03 is a year and a half old.

"... visit the forum via the frontend"
I don't understand.

Frontend. Like, ultimatebb.cgi.

Does not help - the file is not restored

Then you're in it deep - the frontend should rebuild the .threads file when you visit the forum.

The only thing I could advise at this point is moving up to the latest release...

I completely agree, that it is necessary to move to the last release, but it will be restored a threads-file at upgrade?

Excuse me for my English.

the latest version will rebuild the thread file when you rebuild the stat files thru the CP.

This should solve your problem (make sure you delete the 0 sized file beforehand by FTP)

Thank, I shall try.

6.2.1 release does not build a thread file too.

The rebuild forum stat files function in 6.1.0 and higher rebuilds the .threads file....

I find it very odd that you would upgrade to a version that has not been available for download for nearly a year now.

To put 6.5 it is necessary to put all over again 6.2

you mean go back to 6.2 from 6.2.1? This is not necessary since 6.5 can be used to upgrade any 6.x serie board. Just do an Upgrade as you would ordinarly and press the upgrade button in CP

I so tried too.
The matter is that process of upgrading from CP.cgi does not come to an end successfully - browser simply stops on empty page.
