Same as last time, the session table fills up and I have to clear it down. It's nothing to do with the server, rather nasty processes out there in the www filling up our sessions table with hits on the database.

I guess I should write something to clear it down automagically from time to time but I tend to notice it and clear it down daily anyhow.

The problem is due to more than 500 "users" wandering through the forum within an hour to so. I have increased this limit to 2500. This should at least reduce how often this happens.

Great Jools, thanx.

getting on the forum turned out to be a real pain; for the last week I could visit it only 2 days or so, bummer.

good to see it was a relative simple fix, not like a real bug or a virus or hack attack

keep up the good job!
