Have you tried repairing the database?

[stamoulis]

no, not yet, is there a need to do this? i will check the mysql-topics to see how to do this....

[Steve Machol]

Upload repair.php (it's in the 'extras' folder of the zip file) to your admin directory. Close your forums, then run it from your browser with this syntax:

http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/admi...html=1&check=1

[Of course change the exact URL as appropriate for your forums.]

If everything reports 'Ok' then reopen your forums. If not, then run it again. The second time everything should report Ok (except the session table which you can ignore.)

it seems that helped a bit

but with 15.000 members i guess i have to look for a bigger server soon or later. thx for your help
