    Around midnight last night, I moved a few posts from this thread:

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055853778

    to this one:

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056529166

    However, the move didn't work and now, while posts are gone from the source thread (though its post count hasn't decreased) people can't see the posts in the target thread (which has the correct page count, but you can't advance past where it was last night). Clicking 'post reply' on the target thread shows up the moved posts correctly.

    Ideas?

    Sunday night between midnight and 1am is the worst time to be moving posts from massive threads like that :o

    I'm not going to lie, it's quite a mess but I'm commencing cleanup :)

    Much obliged -- things seem to be working a bit better now :)

    Are there any other times that should be avoided?

    Or is it worth implementing a lockout while things are up in the air?

    It hasn't happened in the 15 months since I started so I don't know if implementing a lock down would be a sledgehammer vs nail scenario but we'll keep an eye on it in the future. The site does a lot of background stuff between midnight and 1am every day but Sunday is the worst for it. It was a combination of that and the fact the source thread was massive which caused the problems

    Marking as resolved, some background cleanup left to perform tomorrow but we're good for now
