Actually, 2.4 should work under 5.16 - it'll throw some non-fatal warnings to the server error log, but it
should work.
What I saw when I went to the address you gave:
TabMenu.pl is (probably) working, BoardIndex.pl is working, MessageIndex.pl is working. (Obviously YaBB.pl is working otherwise nothing would go to the browser at all.)
What may not be working properly is Subs.pl, possibly parts of Load.pl and Security.pl - Things that should only concatenate once are being repeated (like the output of TabMenu.pl and several lines in the template subroutine in Subs.pl
So before installing 2.5.2, upload good copies of the 2.4 versions of the files in Sources and Templates/default - making sure the permissions are right and the upload is in ASCII.
What I'm also seeing is the folder names are different - the link to the forum in www.milairpix goes to
http://www.milairpix.com/CGI-BIN/YaBBnew/YaBB.pl but the internal YaBB links go to
http://www.milairpix.com/cgi-bin/yabbnew/YaBB.plAssuming this is on a *nix server, *nix is case sensitive. (Of course that doesn't solve the immediate problem of something being messed up.)
Hello Dandello, my YaBB Forum is hosted on a Windows server so it's not case sensitive.
Everything on this new server has been upgraded to the latest versions, perl, windows, memory etc.
Before the migration everything worked.
My hosting company have copied the files over twice from my old cgi-bin on the old server but I'm still getting the same problems.
I'll copy over the files you suggest and get back to you with the results.
As an aside, I use a number of perl scripts on my website for user interaction and they all appear to be broken!

(They all worked before the migration too!)
