Title: Profiles Disappearing
Post by: The Sheriff on February 13, 2010, 10:18:06 pm

Within the past few minutes, nearly all of the profiles on our site have disappeared. The only profiles that seem to show up are the ones belonging to members that are currently active. As soon as the member goes offline though - the profile disappears and it seems as if the member deleted their account when they really didn't.

There also seem to be an alarmingly high amount of guests on the site; there are hundreds of guests currently on. I am not sure if there is a direct correlation between this and the fact that profiles are disappearing.

What exactly is the problem here, and is it something to worry about?

I have made some changes for performance let me know what errors you are getting and where!
So I can fix it.

I need exact locations on the board since I made many many changes.

We also have the same issue (as to be expected).

We watch and wait. It's not a major - just picky members looking for anything to complain about.

While we do seem to be able to see the profiles yet again, the "Who's Online" list does seem to be glitchy. I don't think it's anything major but the number of guests on the site does seem to be growing and growing. But thanks for the help.  :)

Is that on the board index?

Looks ok in ezportal from what I see.

This is where it shows the hundreds of guests that are supposedly on. The ezportal doesn't seem to be updating for some reason.

on my board all profiles show as being "online" although there is only one member online right now. (we also have the 'guest' thing...ranging from 24 to 46..but the who's online list only shows one member and two guests.)

If any of you are seeing any error messages please post the exact error message, what you did when you got it - that will help him with this.    SMF will have to take a look at this again.

Even though it says that in the Who's Online you do not need to worry.  Guests can not view your Admin page , or any page they do not have permission to view.    It is more then likely a search engine spider and you'll see some odd results listed in the who's online at times.   

For instance this one:
Guest (66.249.68.112)  01:51:43 pm Posting in The Measure of a Man.

That is a google search engine spider.   There is no way it is posting on your forum

 Please edit the IP Numbers out of your post btw.
