Catz,
Good idea. I've only seen 2-3 cases of this, but maybe that is already common enough to warrant doing something about it. As far as I can tell, there is nothing inherently 'wrong' with how XOOPS interacts with the database to be causing this.
I agree just been looking throu the code just now and 'everything' seems to be as it should (Where have I heard that before lol).

I suspect certain versions of PHP/mysql on certain platforms have bugs which allow tables to become corrupted when things are not shut down correctly or when multiple users post simultaneously. This is just a guess. Personally I have had this problem not with XOOPS but with another script (phpwiki running under linux, MySQL 3.23, php 4.1.2), where a table suddenly is corrupted for no obvious reason.
It just seems wierd that this is only happening to a few people?? I have yet to come across this myself (or any other part of Xoops) even with the updates I have performed on this module and I think this one could be a bit tricky in tracking down (Still looking thou).

We could add an admin link to 'check' and 'repair' the tables (probably ALL XOOPS tables, not just forums). But I've observed that 'repair table' can sometimes lose a significant amount of data (mysql command-line will tell you this ahead of time). In these situations you really need to go through *all* the e.g. forums tables and make sure everything is properly cross-referenced and delete data for partially lost records (e.g. if you have the post title but the 'text' is gone). I'm not sure an admin 'button' can be written sufficiently well that it does the right thing in the general case.
I agree with you and on second thoughts it could make a bad situation even worse
(As has happened to myself).
I will look into this and see what I can come up with anyway.
The poster of the orginal problem has reported that this has not fixed the problem, so maybe we should start looking at other area's on this one?

Anyone else who has had this issue, could you post a brief summary of the problem and your fix, and whether you lost any database records or experienced other symptoms after the fix? Anyone have any ideas *why* this sometimes happens?
Thanks!
David: Could you post your php, MySQL and the forum post table and contents here for us to look at?
Cheers
Do you plan to use it for newbb? Ooooh, yeah group permissions for forums!! Pleaaaaaase
