Something's up with the forum...
I'm starting to notice weird things happening like threads without posts and posting not increasing post counts. At first I thought it was just me, but it's happened more than once. With so many users, threads, and posts, perhaps part of the database is corrupted or vBulletin is falling apart. Is anyone else noticing weird things?

I just noticed another weird thing. I'm seeing threads listed with the wrong number of replies. For example, http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showth...threadid=49116 is listed as having 10 replies, but there's 12 posts, which is 11 replies.

I got about 15 "new post" emails for a single thread last night, and when I went to check it this morning, there was only one new post. Quite odd if you ask me.

Yeah I've noticed lots of weird goings on, lots of reply to thread notifications, often for the same user.
WHT is also sluggish at times, and I often see the message that the forum is too busy.
Any plans for a faster machine for WHT Robert?

Now they're gone.
Actually, they were gone last night.
Okay, maybe not fifteen. But there were six, with a couple that were quite lengthy.
Even posted in this thread after one post (the longest one that I can't seem to duplicate) disappeared.
Kinda makes you have second thoughts about posting.There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.

I went ahead and ran a myisamchk this morning because it was getting dupl. index errors and that seems to have fixed the posting problems, I'm going to update the counters by hand right now.
As far as being sluggish, I fine-tuned my.cnf a little more a couple days ago and the load average hasnt gone above 1 since then, there are also plans in for 2 new servers for WHT, dual PIII 1ghz, 1 GB RAM, dual scsi drives in RAID, two servers, one for the DB one for the content, that should increase performance by 200%.

There is something really weird going on with the forum still. I got blasted with 59 emails just like below relating to one particular thread:

I'll take you word for it that it's fine now.
But, if I lose any posts from today; you'll be hearing from my attorney.
I will choose my attorney to represent me in this case from the members here. It'll have to be from memory though, seeings how we don't have a members list to refer to any more.
Please don't anybody PM me to apply for the attorney position. I have someone in mind.

LOL, I just went to the Special Offers forum and the first page is showing ads from 2 years ago! It feels like I've stepped into a time machine.
