I had an issue earlier, no being able to see topics. My host says you guys need to include a cron job for this -- despite my having had no problems for how many years? lol Here's the partial exchange...
I came on to find that my forums gave an error "The table 'ubbt_ONLINE' is full" -- I never saw that before, but went into phpMyAdmin and closed a couple (of only like 20) and it came back. A couple more minutes later I get "The table 'ubbt_TOPIC_VIEWS' is full" when trying to read a topic ...what's "full" all of a sudden after so many years of no problems of this nature?
Thanks,
JG
You need to login into the ubb support forums, and see if they can help you clear the session file. The problem is that the ubbt_TOPIC_VIEW table has grown to large, and you need to clear it. Generally each bulletin board software has some php script that runs as a cronjob to fix this. But the support forum should provide some good feedback.
I missed that reply the first time cuz there are multiple support staff, but then got...
This is a problem with the UBB bulletin board system. As I stated previously, most forum apps have a script that runs as a cron job that clears out the old sessions which grow large over time. This error clearly references that:
Script: /home/gbb/public_html/threads/scripts/showflat.inc.php
Line#: 416
SQL Error: The table 'ubbt_TOPIC_VIEWS' is full
SQL Error #: 1114
Query: insert into ubbt_TOPIC_VIEWS (TOPIC_ID) values ( 17724 )
Essentially, you need to clear the table ubbt_TOPIC_VIEWS and you will no longer receive this error. It would be better for you to contact UBB support too see what they do to clear this table. At this time, this issue is not with your server or hosting service, it is with your bulletin board application which we unfortunately cannot provide support for.
Effective, but not very friendly language on their part lol.
Anyway, it's been years and I never had a problem with this. It's okay now, so just an FYI.... is there a way to prevent this in the future?
