Using FUDforum built from latest CVS compacting messages sometimes fail, because the message file can't be removed. I don't know the reason yet since it seems to work sometimes. In case of failure the page is automatically forced to be scrolled down (probably by JavaScript) so I can't scroll it up, which is a bit annoying.

On the page is shown;

In the error log appears:

This is one of those funny Windows errors (Linux works just fine). Possible solutions are discussed at http://www.php.net/unlink

Thank you, I will have look. Can you do something about the scrolling issue?

Here is your patch to stop JavaScript scrolling once an error is encountered: http://cvs.prohost.org/c/index.cgi/FUDforum/chngview?cn=11871

The situation is definitely better with the patches. Sometimes the page gets scrolled down although there is actually no reason for it (the output is only a few lines long), but I can scroll it up again without problems.

On a freshly installed forum I get the following error message. There error seems to occur because there are no private messages yet, so it's most likely not a big issue but I want to note it.

The error message was: unlink(F:/xampp/htdocs/FUDforum/messages/private) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory

Yes, you can safely ignore this error. Once your first PM is created, you will never see it again.

What do you think about a small modification to the error handler so that it doesn't trigger on supressed error messages?
