Move Topics / ReSync

There is code to update the forum stat counts automatically, but as this code is not running correctly you must be using Access.

Access can on some slower servers take time to update, this means that when the code attempts to update the stats for the forum, the database has not yet finished updating, thus the stat are incorrect.

I was hoping that web hosts had got it together and the days of overloaded servers with slow updates were past, but looks like they are still with us. I will have to look into putting some sort of delay into the Access version to give the database time to update.

As to your other question of copying across the old title, I have added this to the Web Wiz Forums Task List, so you may see this in future versions.

What happens is when the 'Move Topics' file is run the topic is moved then immediately after the topic count is resynced.

However, on slower servers if Access takes a few milliseconds to update, instead of immediately then when the code to resync the topics is run the database has not yet fully updated, thus the resync part fails and needs to be run manually.

This type of thing only effects Access and only on slower servers. The time to update is only a few milliseconds which would be un-noticeable to yourself, but is long enough that the proceeding code after the update will not have the correct info to run.
