It's an annoying PHPBB bug, that I actually had fixed before, but the last "upgrade" reversed the fix.

http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article.php?article_id=42

What I don't get is this: you PHPBB people KNOW it is a problem, why not just put that code in the actual PHPBB release, rather than making me suffer every time?

Yeah. And there was me so desperate to talk about the new quad-core G5s.

Quad Core G5s.... mmmmmm.... It's too bad that according to recent reports the Dual Core Xeons stink. Of course Dual Core Opterons are still mighty tasty...

From what I've heard, the Dual Core Xeons are still sharing memory bandwidth, but the Opterons are not. Is that really true? How can Intel be so lame?

After reading the PHPBB "kb" page I have to ask myself, "WTF?!" I mean, you make a table that doesn't drop it's rows on any kind of schedule, right? And then you make that table a type that has a inheirit low row limit. Now, maybe I'm just stretching here, but I smell some mighty funk. Do they think that most BBs are only up about a week, or that some admin has so little to do that they'll clear out the session table every few days?

If you put things in, you must take them out. These are the rules, there is no doubt.

So, Jeremy, which fix do you use, or did you modify one of them a bit? The auto-cleaner was the only one that made sense, but it just wipes out the oldest 50 when it hits 2500. That's a hack only a chump could love. I imagine that the lack of decent choices are why they don't include one of the fixes in the release, they all suck. (even if they work... most of the time.)

Anyway, I'm not trying to bash on our smamtastic forum, but teh logic used to create it's software surely belongs on www.thedailywtf.com.
