Hey everyone,

So I've got a fairly active board (at least I think ), and have recently been having a lot of problems with files getting corrupted, like PM file and thread files. I'm using latest threads too and once in a while one of those files gets corrupted and I have to delete it or the board acts all funny. I've also been having to rebuild forum stats quite often. Hacks installed are calendar, latest threads, using photo album, PM inbox, and am running 6.3.1.1.

Those of you who have active boards, do you have the same problems? I have a great host but I'm wondering if the timeout setting for the cgi is contributing to killing these files?

I'm wondering what things I can do to lighten the server load with my board. I'm using the accelerator. What else can I do?

One worry of mine is that some really important file that I can rebuild by hand gets deleted. When someones member information get deleted I can get them back up no problem, but what the hell do I do if the memberslist.cgi file gets corrupted?

Have a nice day!!

You should never *EVER* receive corrupted files. There are numerous routines to prevent such things.

At this point, I would advise going back to the stock scripts for a week. If the board becomes stable without the hacks, slowly add in one hack at a time. Eventually you'll find the one (or the combination) that causes instability.

Wow! Thanks Charles. My first guess here is that it has to do with latest threads. We were having problems before and we uninstalled it and things seemed to work more smoothly.
