Hi Paul,

Yesterday, I started getting Vbulletin errors, once I get them, the site goes dead and the server people have to repair the database. After they fixed it, it was OK for a few hours, and then I woke up today to several thousand emails telling me of errors again.

They look something like this:

Database error in vBulletin 4.0.5:

Invalid SQL:

I'm running 4.0.5. Never had any problems with this until yesterday, and nothing has changed on the server, at least not by me.

I wonder if you could shed any light on this please? I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.
