I had a database problem, all the my sql errors showed on hte board, went to mysql admin, reapired tables, board was fixed, but a user got deleted...

This is the second time the same user got deleted, the only user to get deleted

Any ideas?

The results of the reapir tables showed:

[] doctor.w3t_Users repair info Wrong bytesec: 56-54-51 at 2161792; Skipped
doctor.w3t_Users repair info Found link that points at 3244673581399697779 (out...
doctor.w3t_Users repair warning Number of rows changed from 1081 to 1080
[/]

This is very bad as this is our top poster and not board can afford to delete top posters each time there is a mysql error

Thanks

That is where the error lies.

If you got him back by restoring a backup and the table crashed again as I assume then the backup your restored from contained the corrupted data. Thus the same thing happened again.

No. It was not like that.

We have two boards on the same server. The same user is on both. The other day got deleted from one board and today from the other. The board was not respored. We continued with the missing member.

This is not the first time... another time we know a user with a similar name got deleted... both stareted with the same two letters.

This is a mistery

Interesting. Well if the two users where relatively next to each other and this is where the corruption occured then I could see a correlation.

Have you closed the boards and run a myisamchk w3t_Users to run more more extensive repairs and check for inconsistencies.

it is good to check for these types of inconsistencies that pop up in tables and fix them before corruption occurs.
