Post searches fail when member has many posts

I just noticed that the database behind the site is now failing when looking for all posts by a member, if that member has many posts.

For example, try to find all posts by Mr. Anderson. Doesn't work.

It seems that the user with the largest number of posts which can actually be seen is AmbitiousLemon, although this might change by the time you read this.

I haven't tested every member, obviously, but I can't seem to see posts for members with a lot of posts, and I can seem to see them for members with fewer posts.

New problem?

Well, if you guys weren't so freaking prolific, you wouldn't have the problem, now would you?

Maybe it has something to do with someone who has posts that occurred in a given span of time? I can't figure it out. As of now, idkew and moxiemike have the same number of posts - yet I cannot see idkew's posts whereas I can see moxiemike's. On the other hand, I can see the posts of those who joined immediately before and after idkew. Nermal proves it isn't based on post count alone.

This is all very odd, and is a bit worrisome - the database underlying MacRumors might be starting to crumble.

And arn does seem to have faded from view, at least for now. Hopefully, he'll be back in full strength soon!

Hey, whatever it was, that last crash and repair a few minutes ago fixed it, at least for the few members I checked.

It takes forever as of right now to get posts by some (like Mr. Anderson). But it works again!
