why is it?

That when I click on peeps auction links mostly I get Internal Server Error

It's not just you.

I get the same problem if I click people's links from their sigs.

I reckon that Da Boys have shifted things around but not updated the site's code. Basically, it appears to be looking for things in the wrong places and, when it doesn't find them, throwing up an error.

You may want to email Da Boys and ask them?

Think I've sussed it. On another thread, I clicked on Boywunda's siggie and got the internal server error, so I looked at what the location bar thought it was looking at. Instead of "&" symbols, it's displaying "&amp" - hence giving the error. Replacing "&amp" with "&" (without the quote marks) corrects this. I think we can presume that people are typing in their links correctly, so it could be the forum software parsing the information incorrectly (surely so many people can't all be making the same mistake?).....

When the Santy worm hit thousands of website bulletin boards it defaced more than 40,000 websites.

The malicious program exploited a vulnerability in the widely used phpBB software.

This in effect forced Ebid to stop using a phpBB forum, which explains why a lot of the old phpBB code does not work anymore.

Shame really as I liked the look and feel of the old forum more.

odd cos I just looked at the url at the top of the page and its php still

Correction to what I said - the malformed part of the url is & - once changed to "&" it loads fine....

Babs - I think it's just a different flavour of php, Could be wrong though.
