UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads Installation and Upgrade Support New Posts Corrupted? Can someone help?

Sometime during the night our forums developed a problem where it isn't accepting posts correctly.
The post title shows up ok, but...

When you try to read any newer post, you get a message
"There was a problem looking up this post in our database".

Examples here (pick any of the newest threads).

Not sure what to do next, but this isn't good for business.

Any help would be most appreciated.

And here is a message people are getting when they try to post now...

UBB Message
We encountered a problem. The reason reported was

Database error only visible to forum administrators

Please click back to return to the previous page.

If this is just starting to happen, and isn't all the forum posts just the new ones....

I would check the password and name to the database. If that is correct, I would check permissions for the db, and possibly run the script under content rebuilder for the forums. If that didn't fix it, I would look at optimizing the tables for the forums.

Maybe the others have some better ideas, but that is where I would start.

See The UBB.Wiki Project for how to disable the "Database error only visible to forum administrators" error message so you can see the actual error.
