Test post.

Also testing.

This is a new test post because it seems some posts are being saved and retried later.

And for me, too.

Okay, this may have worked. Basically, the database has a bunch of tables, and one of them (an important one, obviously) got corrupted. It was able to fake it for a while, but then it decided it had enough and gave up. The table that was corrupted was nearly 3.5 gigs in size, so it took an entire hour to check and repair, which we've now done. Going to keep an eye on things for a while more, but we should be back to operating as normal.

Then that post and the subsequent one (by someone else) appear in the thread but aren't listed when I go to my 'Subscribed Threads', or to the list of my recent posts that appears from clicking my username. I thought this might resolve overnight, but no.

That post has a photo so the post is listed in my list of recent attachments, but the post is not listed in my subscribed threads or personal posting history.

I just checked -- my posts in this thread are not showing up in my personal history.

Addendum

This post does show up in my history.

That may be fixed soon automatically. Sometimes stuff only gets fixed after new stuff is added. But we can run tools later as well.

Remaining minor problem: My post above (#15) doesn't show in the 'recent posts' accessed by clicking my username, and this thread doesn't show in my 'subscribed threads', so I had to go to the master site list, 'posts in last 24 hours', to find my way back here to post this.

Likewise for other posts I made before today's shutdown. (No big loss! )

Posts I've made after today's shutdown appear properly in my 'subscribed threads' but not via clicking my username.

Edit: Revised to say what I see now.
