vBulletin not working after 10,890 forums

[dvprez]

I am starting a new site and I need 13,000 forums. Around 10,890 the code stops working. I started a thread on vbulletin.com where you can read the details.

If someone can PLEASE help me and tell me where to look I would appreciate it very much.

Your first question:
I asked what "->" meant so that I could read and understand the code.

This is probably not technically correct, but it's enough to help you get the gist of the code. The -> is used to point to functions or variables that belong to an object.

$vbulletin->userinfo
$db->query_read

The second question:
Can I add something to a file that will show on the page what is happening with the php code (turn debugging on).

But, using echo and exit are good ways to see where things are breaking down too.

Now, on to the bigger question. If the forum is showing up in the database, and it's crashing or throwing white pages, I'm inclined to agree with the others that you've run out of resources.

The problem is going to be the datastore. It's one reason we don't have a forum for every single mod here - which would be a much better system than using threads for support.

Another irrelevant question from me!!

Why do need to have 13,000 forums???

Just out of curiousity.

Well, there may be a way to achieve what you want:

Take a look at the modification forums here at vbulletin.org there is one forums which allows threadprefixes, but if you are within a thread the prefix can look as a subforums of the modifiaction forum.

i think with some changes to mystics hack, you can get exactly what you want

i don't think that you need 13k forums, as you won't set up permissions individually, so i suggest, to use the prefix hack, and get a coder to change it in a way to look EXACTLY like subforums :)
