Archive problems

Mods,

I just tried to look up a past post from a forum member. I went to members>search and got a list, but I could never get past the first page of past posts, even when I clicked other page numbers I got the first page.

Any comments?

 

Strange, RdS reported a similar problem when trying to look up one of his own old posts. I haven't experienced the problem myself so I have very little idea what the problem might be.

It could be a database issue but I would expect that to affect everyone. Does the problem happen all the time or only sometimes? I'll run a "repair" job on the DB tonight just to make sure it's all OK, see if that makes a difference.

Well, as it happens I am now noticing the problem when I try to search for posts by user

I'll do some digging on the vBulletin support pages to see if it's a known problem and do some more checking on the database aswell. Hopefully will have it resolved over the weekend

Thanks.

 

I've just tried clicking the "search" tabs in the posts above, and had the same problem with both of you.

 

Have posted a question on vBulletin.com about it. I suspect the search index on the forum may be corrupted but I won't rebuild it until I know that's the problem because it's a relatively intensive operation which may require me to close off forum access for an hour or so.

This has been fixed now. Apparently it was a bug in the version of vBulletin I was running (2.3.2) so I upgraded to the latest (2.3.4) and that fixed it.
