Hi, I meant to clean out my visitor messages (love them all but getting really big), and got 28 pages of "this message deleted by guihong", over and over. How do I get rid of that? Thanks!

Well, I did a little experiment to see if those messages could be deleted. They can but it meant hand deleting all 28 pages of messages. I went ahead and deleted them all but if you have started an avalanche of folks wanting theirs deleted too, I will be forced to drag you on stage with me at the next Reunion for an impromptu Zumba demonstration to the tune of "Shake Your Bom Bom":

For the curious, I checked guihong's profile right after she posted that and I didnt see anything but a blank visitor page telling me she had no messages - so when someone deletes visitor message from their page and sees "this message deleted by blahblah" on their visitor page, it may be a bit annoying, but dont worry - the rest of us just see a blank page.

Good point! So the person deleting their messages and Admins can see the deletion notices but nobody else. I should have remembered that but I get a pass because I had the flu~! WEE!

Anyone else getting crazy amounts of database errors?

Or is this something else I can chalk up to mercury retrograde?

I'm getting them almost constantly.

Angie and I were discussing this yesterday. We believe the explosive growth of the site and posting has been taxing the database along with the spammers trying to get in. We're contemplating upgrading the server to more memory and CPU as well as 64-bit with an eventual upgrade to 5 while keeping the same feel/look. Additionally, we're also looking at creating an "archive" location to put some of the older threads as well as having a few threads archive due to their size but still allowing members to access the threads at any time (not necessarily posting to them)

Gemme & Semantics....I,too, am getting them in inordinate amounts as well. Something else funky that has happened twice today is when I was trying to log on, I used my SN and password, BUT it said invalid user ID or password BUT sent me to homepage, and I went to my page and it said "logging on"......soooo

Linus, can you please delete the tournament between Salty and I in the arcade. The game wouldn't allow us to send or save any scores in or out of the tournament. The game will not time out on its own,.. when you get a chance.. please..
thank you!

Thanks,

Thanks,

If it appears on the front page, that is a known bug.

If it appears when you choose New Posts, then we need to look into what's going on.

So.. where does this happen?
