Can't PM, can't post anon, can't register a new username.  Help?

Try first discarding all your cookies.  I think that there are actually only 2 but it might depend on your browser, and things might be different with this new ISP plus it being Canada...

Then try quitting your browser and starting over.  That should do it, at least for the more crippling issues...


 no cookie issues all related to that one error. FYI you wont get teh error anymore but it still wont be sending mail for awhile.  Just disabled the damn error.

No Guest posts for the past two hours.  Maybe something wrong with the Captcha?

Okay, it doesn't appear as though there have been any Guest posts since yesterday evening.  Something is wrong.

Got this when I tried to post to Tacitus.



Could not obtain common word list

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1104 The SELECT would examine more than MAX_JOIN_SIZE rows; check your WHERE and use SET SQL_BIG_SELECTS=1 or SET SQL_MAX_JOIN_SIZE=# if the SELECT is okay

SELECT word_id FROM phpbb_search_wordmatch GROUP BY word_id HAVING COUNT(word_id) > 105444

Line : 309
File : functions_search.php

Ok, Sendmail issue should be resolved now. More good news. The cause of the problem was that the forum was sending out over 2k notifications a day. That's a whole lot of people pming and watching topics! They've raised our quota, which should hold things for awhile but we may well need to outsource sendmail at some time in the not too distant future. So please keep an ear to the ground for a reliable, free or very inexpensive provider. When I say reliable, I mean technically stable, of course. More importantly, trustworthy with what may be sensitive information.

Thanks, ya'll, for all of your help and support!

I don't think any of us had a clue that there were so many notifications.  If if comes down to having to pare the number, I'd say the PM notifications are far more important to me than the topic notifications.  Perhaps there might also be the option of setting a limit on topic notifications per person, e.g. 5 in effect at a time or something like that, if that helps at all...

Forum order on the Index page bears no relation to posting history (i.e., most recently active on top).  Minor point, but thought you might like to know... 8-)

what did you mean? like if a post was posted to it wasnt updating to the most current time of the last post and current user? Or was this just on folks that were spamming?  

spammers were kinda bypassing the system so its possible things weren't "updating" on their posts correctly. but if it was regular users too or if it's still happening, please do let me know. ty! :)
