why the content inside xmlhttp.php file disappearing ?
without knowing, my forum already have error.. and when i check the xmlhttp.php file , there's no content.. even 1 letter..
that's why im always having issue with my forum because of this problem..
Basically there are three possibilities

1) You got hacked and the hacker deletes the file
2) A plugin is buggy and deletes the file
3) Your host deletes the file because something (shoutbox?) is causing too much load on the server

In case 3) I'd expect the host to notify you. Case 2) is unlikely as plugins usually don't modify files. Case 1) is something you should investigate.
Hacking issue is impossible with the case 1.. coz i check the file and the ip who accessed every file in my host..
2nd. maybe a plugin is buggy..
3rd. i think so,. i'll contact my host first to know anything about this issue..

Thanks
Chances are it's to do with your host.
yup Matt.. i contact my host yesterday..
and i confirm that they're blocking the file because its causing too much load to their server..

which file is causing the overload? or which part of xmlhttp.php is causing the overload.
are the plugins related to this overloading?
Your host is rubbish. Go find another one.
Do you have a shoutbox?? If you do, and if it uses xmlhttp.php, that will almost certainly be it. If you have a shoutbox on every page of your forum (i.e. not just the index), it refreshes every 5 seconds, and you have 20 people on your forum at any one time, that's 400 hits a minute.
i dont know if it's uses xmlhttp.php, and yes im using MyShoutbox by Pirata..
the shoutbox is placed only on Index page..
Same problem.. i dont know how to prevent that
Are you also using MyShoutBox? Just stop using that plugin.
