Back online

[Mike]

Hi Everyone - we had some issues with the database and possibly the post cache this morning that took way too long to figure out. Thanks for your patience while I worked through this. I had to repair the tables, rebuild the indexes and cache and hopefully things are working now. I've been testing for the last hour and all the posts I've been making back and forth to myself (LOL) have worked.

The quick reply box was acting wacky at times too. Not making the right posts when you used it to post your message. Hopefully the rebuild of the cache fixed that issue. However, I'm not sure that there is another issue with the database at play here. But seems to be working right now. I'll keep monitoring closely and if something happens and you don't see me online please send me a PM or email (support at fishlore dot com).

Also, I disabled the auctions and classifieds section (the separate software), since I wasn't sure if it was the culprit. I may keep it disabled since there didn't seem to be much of an interest amongst the members anyway. We'll still have the "Buy, Sell, Trade" board on the forum.

Thanks,
Mike

I was wondering why Mike's post was edited by fishperson, lol!

[susitna-flower]

I saw the post that Dino was referring to, and I can't see where any editing was actually done. I think it is just as I posted it, can't say why there is an edit note on there.

[Mike]

Still not sure about the edits. It has to be related to the tables crashing though. And thanks for the kind words everyone.

Looks like everything's working great now!
