Can this be a bot error?

[Boofo]

I get these every now and then and I don't think it is the host as they have been real good at not throwing these errors at me. I don't have a user with that name so I am thinking it is a bot. Does anyone know why it would do this other than the standard reason? The IP seems to be from Bangkok.

I have a similar problem at 11:37 pm everyday due to the cpanel server package updates. It restarts MySql. Are all your messages at the same time everyday?

Nope, only at wierd times and not even every day, but always with a post trying to be made by a user that I don't have.

First, that is from 2002 and things have changed quite a bit since then and second, I can't read.

Actually it still applies exactly per the MySql 5 manual for both versions of the error name and number.

Is it always the redirect of a guest trying to post that throws it? Have you tried this a a guest if so?

You're really a grouch old *explicit removed*. It's like 2004 still. What's up with that?

Boofo, where are you getting this log from?

[Boofo]

That is the email I got for the error.

@noppid - I have never gotten those errors even once on 3.5.4 or below, which is what I was at before I did a fresh install of 3.7.0 beta 3. What I meant was that vb code has changed, not the error meaning.

I was only messing with Jase2. It was meant as humor, although it seems I need to work on my routine a little more.

As far as being a grouch, I'm entitled.
