In effect, we have a vanilla vBulletin install; this will help us to see if a rogue SQL query was causing our MySQL daemon crashes.

More as it happens!

Well, how about a boards beer for the Admins when they get it fixed i.e. they don't pay for drink the whole night. Plus as a fundraiser for boards itself?
Cloud et al must have spent serious time fixing the system this week alone...

<edit> I can't find anything without my Subbed list!! </edit>

Actually I have spent more time worrying than doing stuff, I've used my bandwidth cap at home so am only squeezing in free moments in work -

regi and ecksor have been our saviours - please thank them.

However, it looks like we're going to have to bring boards offline again today to either dump the database and repair that or repair the database as is...

as per regi's request to report anomolies I wish to report that I have been unsubscribed from all my subscribed forums. they no longer show up either on the DHTML menu or my User Control Panel.

I can re-subscribe to them later but this is just to let you know.

EDIT: nevermind just read clouds message

Yes, I'm presuming it's because the admins added them on as an extra to vBulletin and they are therefore not in the default install.

It is, I'm using it. And only some stars show up. Admins, reg'd users, and subscribers only.

<edit>I'll get my coat... Just cleared cache on proxy server and the stars are gone!</edit>

Yeah this stuff really falls on Regi and Ecksors shoulders. Considering that we've just experienced enough faults to sink most online sites, its amazing we have anything at all!

Cloud, Usenet access also seems to be fubared.
