I have been getting a MySQL error for a few days, on an off. Always related to Post_thanks. I am on 3.73, and yesterday updated from version 7.6 to 7.7 of post thanks to see if it would make a difference. It didn't.
This doesn't happen every time a thanks is given. Also, for comletely unrelated reasons my VPS was moved last night to a new hardware node, so this has happened on two different underlying hardware nodes.
I also optimized the MySQL tables to see if there was any issue there:
Database error in vBulletin 3.7.3:
Code:
Invalid SQL:
SELECT text, languageid, special
FROM phrase AS phrase
LEFT JOIN phrasetype USING (fieldname)
WHERE phrase.fieldname = 'frontredirect'
AND varname = 'reportthanks' AND languageid IN (-1, 0, 1);
