Any way to allow moderators to give other moderators infractions?

What I'm saying is that unless a feature has a definite positive or negative effect, it's unlikely to expect to receive an option for it.

If all the neutral features had options the vBoptions...

Why is this edit box even a problem? You're not required to fill it in before submitting.

Would this interfere with the RSS poster? If so, would custom access masks override this?

If you only want to index the last twelve months why not just purge old threads? If they can't search for them anyway it seems pointless to keep them around!

It totally depends on your hardware. I have a 3.6M post board and the two post queries took 40 minutes each.

[InfidelMatt]

If you used the raw queries as presented by Andreas, it loaded field defaults which were somehow different than the defaults loaded in the official upgrade script.

I wouldn't be surprised...

[InfidelMatt]

I fixed it!

That was the issue: reportthreadid needs to be unsigned, not null, default 0 instead of NULL.

[InfidelMatt]

But there wouldn't be any conflicts if the product was completely uninstalled, would there (I uninstalled mine before upgrading as I had no more use for it)?

Matt...

[InfidelMatt]

I've checked my database and the big difference I can see is that the new field reportthreadid on the post table is NULL on the upgraded boards whereas it is unsigned, not null, default 0 on the fresh...

[InfidelMatt]

I don't think it has to do with that old hack. It was one of the most installed, yet we seem to be the only two with the issue.

I just don't see how the same report.php and same default...

[InfidelMatt]

That hack didn't have any database changes.

Matt...

[InfidelMatt]

Yes I did, but I uninstalled it before upgrading and have reverted all templates. (And have the same problem even with a default template).

I started a bug thread, but I did some more research:

I installed a fresh copy of vB and it worked fine.

I turned off the plugin system, uninstalled all products, reuploaded...

[InfidelMatt]

Yes. Versions <3.6 have no use for those fields, so extra fields won't cause any harm.

Of course the locking of the tables would make your forum all but impossible to use during the period...

[InfidelMatt]

Just a quick Sunday bump. My moderators are coming after me with pitchforks and torches, heh.

Matt

[InfidelMatt]

We run a large board with many different forums. A moderator is typically only a moderator in one or two of these forums, thus it would be preferable if there was some way to limit the moderator's ability...

[InfidelMatt]

This doesn't fix the actual table locking issue but if you set low priority updates it allows the rest of your users to browse as normal while a massive search is being performed. Those trying to submit...

[InfidelMatt]

I am having the same exact problem. I have no plugins installed, all templates reverted, and all files uploaded. The rest of vB 3.6 features work properly, including the similar 'start a new thread for...

As promised, here's the stats for running the queries manually on my board:
