*poke poke poke* Someone get me a forum geek

For the curious, I checked guihong's profile right after she posted that and I didnt see anything but a blank visitor page telling me she had no messages - so when someone deletes visitor message from their page and sees "this message deleted by blahblah" on their visitor page, it may be a bit annoying, but dont worry - the rest of us just see a blank page.

Good point! So the person deleting their messages and Admins can see the deletion notices but nobody else. I should have remembered that but I get a pass because I had the flu~! WEE!

Anyone else getting crazy amounts of database errors?

Or is this something else I can chalk up to mercury retrograde?

I'm getting them almost constantly.

Angie and I were discussing this yesterday. We believe the explosive growth of the site and posting has been taxing the database along with the spammers trying to get in. We're contemplating upgrading the server to more memory and CPU as well as 64-bit with an eventual upgrade to 5 while keeping the same feel/look. Additionally, we're also looking at creating an "archive" location to put some of the older threads as well as having a few threads archive due to their size but still allowing members to access the threads at any time (not necessarily posting to them)

Linus, on some threads, esp with a post with multiple images in them, that seems to sluggishly move til I am past said post. Sometimes a page will have two or three posts with multiple images in them, sandwiched between different posts/users....so it goes warp speed, then sluggish, then warp...etc.
I noticed it will do same thing on the Music posts thread. Just offering up some FYI

Good to know.

I'm always happy to learn I haven't earned a spot on a site's miserable users list (because I wondered).

Good luck with it.

Looks like the pmtext table crashed which is causing the usercp issue. Running a repair...

Quick question; I know a few months back a rule was established as to how many posts a user had to have before initiating threads. How many was that?

I checked in the TOS and did not see it there; also could not find a thread for it.

Gemme & Semantics....I,too, am getting them in inordinate amounts as well. Something else funky that has happened twice today is when I was trying to log on, I used my SN and password, BUT it said invalid user ID or password BUT sent me to homepage, and I went to my page and it said "logging on"......soooo
