One of my forum members have disappeared.
He can't login and when you see he's messages there is no name and link to profile but just numbers
In the cgi-bin/Members directory he exists, I mean his files, and in files list.txt and list2.txt he is present.
What can I do to have him back. I'm afraid to do anything in case he'll be deleted comletly.
Help me please!

Firstly check to make sure you're not running out of disk space.  This is what it seems like.

There is enough space.

After rebuilding the member list the lost member disappeared from list.txt and list2.txt files   His dat, log, pm, prefs files still exists in Members dir.

Any suggestions, please?

Also, make sure you have upgraded.  There was a slight Admin-bug that would do this.  I'm not sure what caused it, but there's a fix.


I do installs for $25 and upgrades for $20.

In their .dat file add the following:

password = |pass|
sn = |Screen Name|

Then rebuild the Members List, they should be able to login as Screen Name with password of "pass".

Ah, you'll probably need to also put:

email = |[email protected]|

In there.

Then rebuild your members list, and he should be able to login.

No effect, still can't log in.
I just noticed that dat file was almost empty (possibly corrupted)
There was no lines except:
rndsid = |633479|1157056699|
lastactive = |1157056699|



But I have backuped data with some info on member, trying to restore dat file, uploading it, but after rebuilding no such member found...

The problem was that I edited dat file in wordpad.
No I tried notepad, and it seems to me it's OK now.

Thanks Ryan and Justin!

The problem is solved. I just copied my profile to his with some modifications which I made in notepad, then rebuild members list.

Now it's all right
