OK...not sure what happened there, but for about 4-5 minutes, I could not see any posts in any forum. Things look like they're back to normal now. Whatever normal is....

RE: Disappearing Posts
I can see posts in some forums, not in others. I see all the forum headings, but when I go to them I see "There are no messages" displayed. If I go to the "Most recent post" column, and click on it, I can see that post, but no others......

All complete and counts per forum and total verified. very intense with all the subforums and 3 million posts. all is "normal" again. Took a tad longer to run than anticipated. about 30 minutes.

RE: Disappearing Posts
For efficiency when posts are made they are added to a single table and when deleted they are removed from the counts. The routine I ran literally goes through every forum and subforum and manually counts all active posts and tallies them and updates these fields with exact counts just in case there are discrepencies. I usually run this ever 4-6 months. I forgot to turn the board off with a notice before hitting the "go" button and once you start this routine you cannot stop it so I just let it run. The nice thing is that once a forum is counted it "appears" and is usable.
So until another 4-6 months goes by...we are all set!
