also... i'm pretty nervous about the optimize tables thing. in fact... i'm pretty nervous about doing much of anything, at this point.
the mysql database i uploaded (the one my boards are currently using) is from a backup i made after i originally had all the problems.
i'm worried that if i do anything, it'll explode again.
i mean, at this point, i guess its possible that if i optimize the tables, i'd get the 2 missing days back. but, its just as possible the boards'll go down again.
i'm gun shy!
