Looks like you're having the same problem as chrome. As you know, a couple of people have seen this problem but have fixed it by upgrading their modules. See if you can get in touch with chrome and see if he's found the problem.
Just for the purpose of the excercise I have installed Slackware, MySQL 1.23.39, Perl 5.6 (from slackware pkg distribution) and compiled modules from CPAN (no errors and no forced installs) on yet another machine. And as you may have guessed already - inserted news posts have threadid 0. So it's either down to perl version or the fresh install of vBulletin 2.0.1 doesn't take the mod as good as vB upgraded from betas?

Mine is installed on a fresh 2.01. I'm using Perl 5.005_03 and always have. I know chrome was using Perl 5.6, how about you?

Are you sure it all still works?
The only thing that can safely be disabled is the [Review/Insert Orphans] option within the 'Groups' section. This is handled by the first block of functions you spoke about. $DB_site is the main database class that handles all database access.
It certainly does still work ( the admin stuff that is ) ... the message was a WARNING only indicating that the GLOBAL had already been defined.
This is correct... it is defined in the calling 'adminfunctions.php' and I think is valid on subsequent deeper calls.
I'm still waiting for my sys-admin to activate the additional perl modules. The rest is ready on my side... hopefully today sometime.
Originally posted by shri Would it be possible to split this thread up? Its a pain in the arse going through 40 pages of posts to find a keyword or two
shri, this list is BIG yes... however it essential to keep it as one.
Take some advice and start from the beginning of the posts. It is VERY important to get a good handle on things and makes the implementation easier.
All persons on this thread have been a great help so far.
I hope to have the USNET Gateway active soon. If I experience problem I know where to come to ! so, split it up,

Is it the word table? There were a few posts recently about this. Have a look back through the last 6 pages or so. This table seems to get corrupted very easily with or without the usenet hack. It seems to happen on shared servers which may indicate a problem with the number and frequency of inserts and selects. However, the problem doesn't seem to happen much with the searchindex table which probably receives even more queries.
Your best bet is to empty it out and re-index. If it continues to happen then you will have no choice but to disable indexing for the usenet posts.
Do you reindex the word table through the vb cp at "Rebuild search index"? Thanks.
I have installled the hack to turn the quote button into a reply button inside the newsgroups. It works fine. One question though by doing this will this also make the quote button in a regular forum other than a newsgroup act the same. It does on mind just need to know if it is suppose to or not?
