I'm getting it sporadically as well on those threads now. Trying to get the people that matter to look at it now.

OK I found what the issue was, or atleast I think. We haven't changed anything in months on the forum and database side, but we kept seeing issues where mysql would run out of page size to do certain activities (some of you will have seen an error about storage engine). I thought this was some bug but even after upgrading the DB version the problem still occurred (FYI the forum is hosted on a Cisco UCS blade with 32G of memory but mysql can only use 3.5G at a time (32bit limitation). In anycase I noticed something else by accident that there was a ton of temporary tables being added to the database but not cleared out and after a few emails to the VBB guys found that a permission to drop tables on the database had been removed. I don't remember doing this but it must have been me. I've fixed this and deleted all the temp tables and from here atleast things are snappy again. I'm hoping that this resolves most of the posting problems that you have seen but if not please let me know. I think this was what was causing one other issue but unless it recurs I won't know for sure.
Apologies for this inconvenence.
Neil.

It could be that you were caught up in the promotions issue I was having yesterday and became a new user temporarily. Please can you recheck your usercp today?
