After Clik on subforum, page is blank.. ?
 

Hi,

On my forum.. I have got some subforums and like normal, below them the threads, but now suddenly, when I click on the forum directly, it won;t open... the pafe goes blank... but when I click directly on the link to the thread, the thread opens and I can read it also.. and when I try to go to the mainpage above it.. to the forum, the page also goes blank.

So strange as this just happend.. any idea what could have caused this ?


Thanks.

p.s. I didn't install anything new for a few weeks...

Hi,

I also noticed that when guest ( not registered ) are clicking on the all of the topics, they get a database error that they can't view the forum.. But when registered user click on the topic, they can see the topics and threads.

But 1 topic, nobody can see, as the page with the threads inside is blank... but when you click directly to a thread, from somewhere else, so not from the topic, you can see the thread..

Desc:

1) Main Topic ( this can't be clicked from the forum home page.. to see the threads below.. )
a) thread 1
b) thread 2
c) thread 3

Best regards,

Try reverting your FORUMDISPLAY template. If that don't work, upload forumdisplay.php to your forum root.

We need to see the exact database error in order to help. It could be a table is crashed.

For the blank pages, see this - http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/blank_pages

Hi,

Thanks for the fast reply, I have disabled all the plugins like mentioned and the forum worked Ok again, so I manually disabled them one by one, to see where the problem was, and somehow, 1 plugin was causing the problem. I have disabled it and now the forum works ok.

Thanks again.

Best regards,

p.s. what is the best way to keep your database in best shape ? I am doing maintanance every month, but I assume there should be also other ways on handling the database on not going corrupt and be as fast as possible..

I'm not a database expert at all, but Marco has posted a few times regarding optimizing/repairing the database and said that you should NOT do so unless there is a problem. So, I've stopped doing that to my databases on a regular basis and they have been just fine for the last year or so.
