I keep getting "fatal error" message

I just wish some official technical person from the site would post some info at least acknowledging there is a problem. I know I’ve been having intermittent problems with CC forums for a few days already. I keep thinking they MUST be working on them, but it would be nice if they said they were.

Yea…i keep getting the fatal messages as well.

these fatal messages are happening because of everyone on the SAT Preparation section keep on refreshing their pages because of the Jan. SAT discussion., thus making the the website more laggy. This is similar to “denial-of-service,” but not intentional. It will stop when CC manager restarts the server.

doubleplay’s post makes absolutely no technical sense so I wouldn’t worry too much about that explanation…

Fatal error: Call to undefined function sanitize<em>maxposts() in /home/admin/public</em>html/includes/functions_forumdisplay.php on line 66

Here are two possible solutions:
try disabling plugins.

"Btw, I’ve found what was going wrong. As it does not lie on custom code, I will put the answer, in case someone else faces the same problem.

The problem was in the call of the parameter $perpage of the construct<em>page</em>nav() function.
I was testing the value of $vbulletin->userinfo[‘maxposts’] to get the number of “lines” per page. If this number is -1, then it means that the forum’s default value is used (in this case $vbulletin->options[‘maxposts’]).
I have taken this from the sanitize_maxposts() function.

But for some unknown reason, I have many users with either -1 or 0 for their maxposts value :confused: Thus corrupting my test on -1 value.

So I’ve corrected the test by replacing <> -1 by <= 0 in the $perpage calculation.

i’m getting this message and have NO IDEA what you just said!!!

I think it is a problem with the site - not going to mess with my computer or it’s settings - even if I understood what you said - which I didn’t :wink:

Hey you have to admit it’s an interesting, creative, and post-provoking explanation. Also more fun than blaming it on the SAT posters. After all, who could be more worthy of mud-slinging than porn feeders? Plus, didn’t just some of you start to wonder who they might be?

so this is a kind of porn worm? (ha ha…sorry!)

seriously now, i wonder if “sanitize maxposts” relates to a kind of cleaning up due to the pornposters?

I already have a list of potential suspects. :wink:

so you guys know possibly who did this??

No, they’re joking, no one did it, except for the BB coders who created a bug.

And really, bugs are like pornography - you know them when you see them.

I think it’s a ISTD (Internet Sexually Transmitted Disease). I think users here should take necessary precautions when posting namely: have safe posts!

lol.

We’re working on it, sorry about the problem!

OK, it’s fixed. One of our servers needed a kick in the pants.

Thanks, guys, for the pants-kicking and all of the other stuff you do. Great job!!!
