At tubal-reversal.net we use UBB classic for our forums http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php Early this morning all topics for the last 30 days became closed and featured. This happened in all forums to several hundred topics so quickly that it does not appear that it could be done by normal admin procedure, but most likely by a bug in the program. This has occurred three times in the past, approximately 2 and 3 months ago. The authors of this script (Infopop) say no one else has reported this and attribute it to hacks I have made to the script. They have not been interested in investigating this problem although we have purchased their Gold Support option. I am at a loss to the cause of this infrequent but serious problem and am at a loss as to what to do about it other than uninstalling and reinstalling all hacks. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.
