Gaaah.
Need help please. Forum was running fine for years. Now it throws the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000b'
Division by zero
/forum/forum.asp, line 301
Background color black, gone, just white, no lines visible, just the text. What happened? Didn't do anything. Called the hosting company, they said no fault on their end!? How can that be? I didn't touch any files? ! Last backup is too long ago, if I use the backup, a lot of posts will be gone.
HELLLLLPPP!? Where do I need to start? |

Line 301 says the following:
quote:
maxpages = (iPageTotal \ strPageSize )
Compared to an older file, the line is unchanged.... |

That basically means that your variable "strpagesize" is undefined or null in the database. You can get past this point to fix it by manually inserting a line, just before that one, saying:
strpagesize = 10
Once you get back into the forum, go to the admin page. From there, open "Forum Features" and set the value for this prompt:
Items per page
When you have done that and hit submit, you will need to remove the new line from "forum.asp".

| Thanks for the reply. Cause it was late, I didn't do anything last night, this morning forum was working again, however, the statistics active user record was reset, AND a post was made that was never done by me, just a string of nonsense letters as topic name, and in the post all sort of strings of nonsense, including links to "stupid" sites. What the! |

This behaviour generally happens after a server has been reset, I'm pretty certain there was a fix released that stops the dodgy posts happening |

Well if they didn't do it, something definitely cause an IIS reset as the behaviour you describe indicates the application variables were cleared for the forum, the only way that happens is if the webserver gets reset for whatever reason that occurs.

| You won't see the change unless/until you refresh your active users page. |
