Weirdness

I posted this over on vBulletin.com as well, cause I'm not sure where the problem is coming from. It's VERY sporadic (it only seems to be occuring in one out of hundreds of posts).

There are no specific users it seems to be happening to (can't track specifically to AOL for example).

It doesn't seem to be related to traffic because it has even occured when my boards are slowest.

I recently upgraded to version 2.3.0.

Here's the problem:
Every once in a while someone will post and it's like their postbit template is completely ignored. Their post is blank, but the page isn't blank. The postbit template portion goes MIA (screenshot here) -- it's not just missing from being displayed, but in the source as well.

Sometimes these posts occur all on there own (just one of them) -- and sometimes they occur in batches. You'll see what looks like 3 duplicates of the same post listed in forum display, but only the last one actually works... the first two are these blank weirdness posts.

I have no idea what hack might be causing it (if it's even a hack problem) -- I just thought I'd post it in case someone has run into the same problem and knows the resolve.

Xenon,

Not sure what you mean by "read out correctly" -- If I could say it was always happening to AOL users (as an example) I'd feel more confident saying it's a hosting problem. Could ya explain in more detail if ya don't mind?

Thanks

if the problem just occurs when on the same time your board gets unbelievable slow, it's normally a problem with the server, so your host is the problem

Xenon,

Okay, I understand what you're saying -- the problem is to figure out which problem is occuring first. Is this weird error causing some problem that they slows down the board, or vice versa.

And it's occurring even during times when traffic on my board is low -- so I don't know that it's load on the server. I'm on my own dedicated server.

Also, I didn't at all HAVE this problem until after upgrading to 2.3.0, so I would jump to the conclusion it's a VB thing before I'd say it's a host problem.

Make sense?

as there are a lot of users using vb230 without this, it's surely not a vb problem.
But if it's really not your host, maybe you have made a big mistake while upgrading?
Maybe you should restart the upgradeprocedure from the ground up.
