Generally you are supposed to get HTTP status code 200, which means the connection worked and content is being downloaded.

This does, actually. --- While the 500 error is not directly caused by the UBB software (it is a server message), the load on the server is a function of what software is running to display the pages. They wouldn't happen if UBB was more efficient with server resources. Web servers are now optimized for different things than they were when UBB was new. UBB Classic uses flat files (it's older than cheap DBMS like MySQL and PostGre). Wide replacement of flat files with a separate, dedicated DBMS layer is one of the technological shifts that have occurred since then. A modern webserver configuration would assume that an application uses a database backend and may just not be cut out for interpreted scripts reading and writing large text files very quickly. --- About OMS being cut short: Database hickup. No data loss, the topic record was set to a length of 194 for no obvious reason. Fixed now. I'd look into what caused it (I suspect it's happened at least once with another topic), but it's so rare and non-fatal that I'm putting it a bit further down the todo list.

Archmage Alex Skip to My Lou Member # 40	written Sunday, December 30 2007 04:43 Profile Homepage #42 I propose the creation of back-up boards. Some one who has time, and the desire and knowledge do so, should make a set of boards set up exactly like these ones. Same sub-forums (Exile trilogy, General, etc.) same links, and so forth. If UBB ever dies or Jeff decides to get rid of the forums, we could just have a bot or a few ambitious members transfer the active topics from the archives to the new boards and the community could continue almost uninterrupted. Should one of those situations arise, I'm pretty sure Jeff would be willing to take the time to change the Forums link on his page to say "Here's where our fans tend to hang out." -------------------- Take the Personality Test!
