I got up this morning and ran some of my normal maintenance routines on our site, that I've been running for years ....

I ran the Update User Titles and Ranks as I always do, except today for the first time, I received this error message, which seems to be releated this mod.

Maintenance

Updating user info...

Why has this mod starting doing this after it's been running fine for a long time and what can I do to fix it?

I've been running v1.2.8 of this mod on our vbulletin 4.1.3 with no previous problems whatsoever and I'm happy with what it does, so I do not want to upgrade...

If I disable this mod, the problem goes away and Update User Titles and Ranks function works normally with no errors ...

Thanks for any feedback...
