Status : Offline | This is probably a unintended side-effect of URL rewriting in Apache or something about perl parameter parsing I'm not familiar with, as it relates to base URL resolution. Essentiall, the slash makes your browser think the base path for relative URLs is /yabb/YaBB.pl/ instead of the intended /yabb/, but the script still works, so you get the document without any external references.
You shouldn't use the slash, anyway: 'YaBB.pl' is not a directory.

Status : Online | The slash gets there by mistake, it's very close to the Enter key (even if it's the \ sign, Internet explorer fixes it to /).
This was a strange discovery as I always thought I just had a connection problem to the site, until it appeared somewhere with a different isp.
Thanks for clearing that up.

You could probably prevent future confusion because of this by adding:
to the .htaccess file in /yabb/ (assuming there is one) so that users need not type the script file-name---but I digress. Again.
