yup tried that - also set it to update views instantly...
i found this thread
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=127997
and its exactly my problem right now...
updated mysql and then rebuilt my index's and then did a force update threads cronjob and it seems to be ok for now... at least the thread counters are back up
so this is where i am at - when my server crashed it nocked out the clock on the server and a few user sposted 'in the future' until we reset the clock
now it doesnt seem like the cron job is running on time or at-all ? if i run it manually via the 'scheduled tasks' it updates things properly but left alone it does nothing - regardless of if the settings are to update threads live or every hour?
