Raman, that is good advice. The thing is that I am already doing it once an hour, every day of the week. The forums have a task manager that will run "jobs" to check & repair broken tables.
The only thing I can think of was that you experienced a table that was not updated within that hour period. The chances are very small since I rarely receive reports of broken tables, but anything is possible. The other possibility is that old data was cached, and the cache was not yet updated during the time you made the queries.
If you don't mind, let's watch for it to happen again. There's plans to upgrade the forums in the near future, too, so if this is a problem I can't fix, it's very possible the next version of the forums will handle the tables differently (since the newest version of the forums is a complete code overhaul).
Thanks for keeping me in the loop about this...
Steve
