One of my forum moderators told me that he deleted some posts last night, and now the forums are completely down. I'm guessing the two are related. We've had no problems with the forums until now. I searched XOOPS forum and couldn't find this issue.

I'd really appreciate some advice.
Thanks!

Can you still get to the administration section?

Yes, I can still get to the admin area and do everything else. The forum is broken nomatter how I'm logged in (or not logged in). I tried all the debug modes, but received no error message.

I've also noticed that the Recent Topics (Message Boards) block has disappeared from the front page.

I added a new Topic, just to see what happens, and it added ok. But I cannot go into that topic either. I even tried repairing the forum tables in mySQL. I can't think of anything else to try.

One more thing...

In forum admin, I tried to "sync forum/topic index" and got the following message: Could not get topic count

If you have MySQL access (or phpmyadmin) I would recommend trying "repair table TABLE_NAME" where TABLE_NAME is xoops_bb_topics, xoops_bb_posts, xoops_bb_posts_text, and xoops_bb_forums. Perhaps a server hiccup caused something got corrupted during the delete.

That did it (repairing xoops_bb_topics). The server farm is in Buffalo. I think our moderator was working on the forums at the time of the blackout yesterday.

Thanks so much for your assistance!

Thank you for this thread! The same thing just happened to me a few minutes ago. Good thing I was also browsing XOOPS.

I deleted a thread, and I was not able to see posts from the other threads. My table xoops_bb_posts_text was inaccessible and in use according to phpmyadmin. Repairing that table cured the problem.
