Okie, the lastest CVS should have a fix for this.

The problem was entirely Windows' fault. In windows when you open file for append ftell() will always return 0 unless you write some data to the file. Our code being UNIX centric got the start position of the message by doing an ftell().
Windows programmers consider this a "feature" of NTFS' implementation of file permissions. Since NTFS allows a (real append) permission you cannot overwrite data before you aquired the file in append mode.
We've added a filesize() hack to hopeful solve this bug in Windows.

(grab forum_install/install_data/sys/include/post.inc & forum_install/install_data/sys/include/private.inc)

To test the fix you'll need to create new threads, the old ones that were affected by this problem cannot be fixed.


More specifically, old threads will not be fixed UPTO the point of where you replace the files which don't currently consider windows' implemenation of fopen(...,'a').
