Topic: Online list resets at night

I have the online list set to 172800 seconds which is 48 hours.

Instead of staying on the list for that long somewhere during the night the list resets and it looks like nobody visited the board. This happens every 24 hours regardless of what setting I pick.

I read somewhere there was a bug in the software that causes this.

In the database, try changing the type for the online table from MEMORY to the one specified for the rest of the tables (MyISAM or InnoDB).

For example using phpMyAdmin if installed on the server.

Re: Online list resets at night

Make a database backup just in case.
Then on the "execute sql" (or something similar) tab, run the query: 

ALTER TABLE pund3_online ENGINE = MyISAM;

Re: Online list resets at night

It is now two days later, this resolved the issue and I would consider it an official fix.

Thank you @Visman for your help regarding this matter.
