After hit logging went down last week, I brought it back up. Then the database got corrupted. I've recreated the database and tossed the old data (which was causing some sort of weird corruption.

End scenario: Hit logging is back for paid users, but the old data is gone

More news on how I'll make sure this doesn't happen in the near future

. . .

In a few days, I'll be removing tags from your tagboards that are older than September 1st, 2005 if you have more than 20 tags (If your 20th most recent tag is older than September 1st, 2005, we'll still keep it). I'll be storing them into the archives which will not be accessible in the control panel immediately. If you want to keep any tags, I suggest you do copy them to your hard drive.

I'm doing this to fight the database server dying... apologies for any inconveniences this will cause.

how about having the users sign for a tagboard service, one that is separate from tabulas? there are a lot of free tagboard services on the net, some even customizable to suit the site's colors. there's tag-board.com, zonkboard.com (which offers over 150 smileys!), oggix.com (with an assortment of smileys too!), cbox.ws, shoutmix.com, etc. my first tagboard was from chatter.flooble.com, but i'm now using myshoutbox.com. (it's not perfect and also occasionally down, but it goes back up. i think i've had my shoutbox since my old site, way back july 2003). it would certainly free up server space! and then you can just add some Help instructions on how/where to insert the tagboard code.
the small paper icon--the one that takes you to the tagger's tabulas, regardless of posting name, hence an added security against false taggers--would be lost, however.
just a suggestion. :alice:
kudos to you roy for bringing us tabby, for singlehandedly managing its bugs, and for constantly improving it. :)

What's hit logging? I'm a new user, not really new, about 5 months?

na, old tags are old tags. dont worry about 'em roy. :)

i have a problem though, my gallery and usericons wont show up. all that it displays are boxes with little red X's on them.

i was browsing through old comments and it looks like thats a problem for those who changed usernames. i changed mine from janeh to jane_

thanks!
