A forum admin... sneaky?! Nooooo! Say it isn't so!

Show just enough to make 'em want to register to see it all. Oh wait, that kinda sounds like... nevermind.

Re: Not seeing any threads in any of the forums ....

Guests should be able to view the forums ok now

It wasn't turned off to be sneeky, I turned it off because the forum kept running out of memory soon after Stratics went down

An increase of 400 users? and a bunch more automated search engine bots were visiting the forums and the server wasn't really configured to handle that much load, so MySQL ran out of memory and the site went down for 3 hours.

People were getting this intermittently before hand...

Quote:
MySQL Error : Out of memory (Needed 6710880 bytes)
Error Number : 5
Request Date : Wednesday, May 7th 2008 @ 02:32:02 AM
Error Date : Wednesday, May 7th 2008 @ 02:32:02 AM
Script : Ultimate Online Forums - Powered by vBulletin
Referrer :
IP Address : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Username : xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Classname : vB_Database
MySQL Version : 5.0.45-community
And I was honoured with 465 emails with the same error.

So I removed access for guests to threads/posts

I've since increased the available memory to MySQL and all seems ok, so guest viewing is opened again.

Sorry, but my users are my priority, not guests who view stuff offline and don't contribute

Re: Not seeing any threads in any of the forums ....

That's quite a kick! How did the CPU usage do (can only imagine it took a big jump too trying to compensate for the RAM)?
