If there are a topic with many replies and I would get No posts exists for this topic, I would check the nuke_bbtopics table and the topic_id of the offending topic. Then I would check the topic_replies, if the number is correct and adjust, if topic replies were wrong. I think this should fix this error.

Well just to let you guys now that my 'problem' is fixed now Smile

Problem between quotes cause everything was still working as it should be, just a few pages with no topics in them Razz

I changed all '-1' id's to the correct owner, some old guest posts to '1'. (in bb_posts and bb_topics).

bb_topics was a b#tchy job to do, since i had to check every topic manually to see if it corresponded with the correct user.

Well at least its all cleaned up now, and forum integrity back to 100% Cool

Happy to hear that it is working now. Maybe you could have used Search in the bb_topic s table to check for -1. Search is a very fast and efficient way to rapidly find such things.

Yep of course I used the search, would be close to impossible without it Razz

But with bb_posts i could search on ID + poster name, this wasnt possible in bb_topics (only an id there). And since there were different users with an -1 ID i had to check them manually to see if they belonged to the right user Crying or Very sad

Around 250 topics(starts) in total with an -1 ID, so took me a while Wink
