Everything was working fine since 16th dec. Until I noticed the forums stayed switched off for an unusual amount of time today. So I turned vB off, then on again to enable the forums. Ran the scheduled task manually and I got the following sql error and the forums got switched off and stayed off...
Code:
Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:
Invalid SQL:
REPLACE INTO datastore
(title, data, unserialize)
VALUES
('options', 'INSERT LARGE AMOUNT OF DATA', 1);
MySQL Error : Table 'datastore' was locked with a READ lock and can't be updated
Error Number : 1099
