TravelBuzz! corrupt?

I noticed that TravelBuzz! hasn't displayed the yellow icon next to recently modified posts for a long time, but now it is starting to do other wierd things to me.

I tried to do quote reply and it brought up no username and no quote - just the codes minus that information. I filled it in manually, but rather than end up with a new entry at the end of the thread, it overwrote my last entry on the previous page. Very wierd.

Is there something going on with TravelBuzz! ? Can it be re-indexed or whatever can be done with these forums?

Edited to add link to the thread I had the problem with:

Try quoting something from page 2. Page 1 seems immune.

The thread became corrupted and lost the second page's posts (from the script side, not the page itself); I'll rebuild that thread. Thanks for the heads-up.

I made a feeble drug joke in the last post I posted in that thread.

I then noticed the post count of that thread increasing, yet my post was still the last post on page 2 in that thread.

That is totally bizarre. I was beginning to wonder if I was having computer problems.

On another note, dan at WebFlyer, you are probably familiar with the mammoth 132-page Who Will Be Next FlyerTalker To Post? An OMNI Game thread.

Is there any preventative measures that should be taken to keep this (and other threads) from getting corrupted?

Thank you.

Not really; the corruption problems are due to UBB's system choking when too many people hit a thread or even a forum at the same time. We're going to move to a better system, probably vBulletin, once we get our resources lined up.

Thank you for the information and for your assistance, dan at WebFlyer. I appreciate it.

By the way, for those of you who are unfamiliar with vBulletin, here is a list of the features of vBulletin.

Moderators will love this feature:
