HUGE bug : profiles disappear from DB

**DesertWarrior** · 06-06-2007

Hello all,

I hope someone can assist me on this really quick!

I have been running dolphin 5.3 for 8 months and NO PROBLEM at all, the site has been running perfectly fine. I have installed everything myself since I'm a programmer.

Now I just noticed a weird bug, I have about 3-4 new members each day so I go and approve them manually every morning, but this morning I noticed that some profiles are disappearing from the database because I noticed that I currently have 642 total members when last week I had like 750!

I am the only one who has the admin access so it's impossible that someone else deleted them.

I executed a SELECT * FROM Profiles in SQL mode and it returned 642 rows, so it means more than 100 profiles disappeared!

Anyone had this bug??

Correction : stupid me. I just found out what was causing this.

Under global settings there is the database cleanup section in which by default it deletes all profiles that did not login for 180 days.

Stupid script. This should be OFF by default, who needs such a thing when we're dying to have more profiles in our sites...

so don't panic if it happens to you.
