Recent Subsim server disruption thread

[SteamWake]

Couple of things I noted this morning.

I had to manually log in.. though that may have just be a cookie toss.

All by "responed in" tick marks dissapeared and all topics have been tagged as read.

Hope you get it squared away I know how frustrating this can be.

There goes all that end of year fund drive

edit... hell now there all back ... still all tagged as read though.

Edit: Wow it's going slow now, will delete all my cookies/cache etc and see what happens!
Edit: Might be something wrong with my ISP, I rebooted my system and couldn't even log onto Google, after a minute back again, so at this stage I would ignore this post!!

Ok, and thanks for letting me know, cuz sometimes people say "something's wrong" and they find out it's not, but no one ever tells me so I go on checking things.

Yeah, I updated the forums to the latest version last night, so that may have wonked the threads read, log in "remember me" type stuff. The good thing is:

• No posts were lost
• So far as I can tell, none of my dozens of tweaks were broken
• Downloads did not break
• Ranks and avatars survived
• Entire db is backed up (well, it is nightly)
• Running latest version of vB
• No security problems.

Left to do:

• Get an SQL expert to really check the db for problems.
• Find a nice way to archive 2005-2008 threads and prune them from the db. That's proving harder than I thought, I would have expected vB to have a system in place for this.

Hmm... I see a small batch of db errors around 4pm CST, is that about the time you experienced this?

Hard to say Neal due to the time differences but probably, today is going very fast, I would say all is fixed!!
