I know APX and myself are the top two, over 60 posts each I think, but we don't show up?

APX shows up now, but I don't. Seen it before a couple times in the past, but it goes away by itself.

Looks like the problem went away. This one, I really have no clue. I am looking at the source code right now..

It comes and goes, no big issue really, just wanted to give a heads up. Figured you would enjoy the challenge of solving it. smile.gif

Okay, after a preliminary walk-through in the codes, it doesn't seem like a security breach nor had the codes been tampered. It seems it was simply a server / mysql hiccup. It happens when the search function is being hammered. Speaking of that, the search function needs to be optimized as it locks the posts table every time someone makes intensive searches.

I think what happened was, someone was making a very broad search on a generic word / term. It locks up the posts table while you were viewing the top poster page. When a table is being locked, the forums can not fetch those necessary info to display the top posters. Though, it seems like a plausible explanation, I can't help but question why it happened to just you and APX..

In the previous times I've seen it, it's always people with higher daily post counts. Don't know if that helps or not.

Wonder if it was because of how many posts you guys had, maybe it was a more intensive search?

It works now, with the 2 top posters having way more posts. It comes and goes, no idea why.

The Report System will probably win the contest at this rate. I'm noticing a trend in post habits that will make him the best poster EVAR.

Yeah, and the strangest thing is, this came out of nowhere. I'll be sure to snapshot the post count before the clock resets at midnight PST. ^^

Came out of nowhere? confused2.gif

Yeah... sad.gif
