why you're having trouble posting..
Read this:
A new worm is playing havoc with certain Web sites by exploiting a security hole in PHPbb, a popular program used to create Internet forums, several security firms warned Tuesday.
Reston, Va.-based iDefense reported more than 38,000 sites had been compromised since this morning. Ken Dunham, the company'* director of malicious code, said the worm may be exploiting a recent SQL injection vulnerability for phpBB 2.0.10 reported on Nov. 29. "If that is the case, this worm was rapidly authored and deployed, just a few weeks following the vulnerability announcement," he said in a prepared statement.

this is why teuobk(sp) upgraded the phpBB version to phpbb 2.0.11
I did this to the SEBC (upgraded), but it is down right now, so it doesnt matter.

Yes, the board was patched before the worm'* debut.
As for the recent problems: I didn't observe them. Can somebody fill me in on exactly what problem they observed?

No, it was not a db backup. Judging from the log files, it looks like the SQL server hit its maximum connection count at around 10:30 CST this evening. Connections started being refused, causing some errors.
The massive delays durring posting came about because the necessary tables were locked for massive amounts of time (like 60+ minutes) by other queries. That caused a backlog of waiting queries, which quickly used up all available connections.
This might be related to the search function. As a side note, the method that phpBB uses to implement search REALLY REALLY sucks. I'm working on a different coding project for the board right now, but my next endeavor might be to reimplement the search function in a more sane manner.
Does the 10:30pm - 11:30pm CST timeframe sound correct?
Thanks for your patience,
Jeff

yep...here'* a suggestion for the search thing...make it omit words like bonneville, pontiact, club, ect.. If you go to the phpbb site, they did that because they would have the same problem with people including words that brought back major results, loading the server up. hope that helps Jeff.
