vBulletin Database Error?
 

What is this? I mean what should I do about this error? I don't even know why I am getting it?

I received this error in email via my forum:

Database error in vBulletin 4.0.1:

Invalid SQL:

WHERE forumid IN( )
AND thread.visible = 1;

Hoe it happened? Did you do any modifications to your forum prior to getting that error?

I am not sure... Although, it looks like it is due to a mod for Articles that I installed a while ago (before I upgraded my forum to 4.0.1) So, do you think it could be due to some files left uploaded on the server?

I am sure new mods that I installed are not related to articles and all the other previous mods were fully uninstalled via vB Admin Panel.

If this was a one time error, I'd ignore it. Especially if you're on a shared server, since a random timeout could cause it. Don't go changing a whole bunch of stuff because of one random error.

Alright... I don't think I am using this much.. So, not too worried about it.. but thought if there could be something to fix easily without changing much.. I would do it...:) So, I stop receiving emails about this error...lol

Mods written for vb3 will almost always fail on vb4.

So you are saying it could be due to a mod that I installed recently for vB 4.0.1?
