What does the Guest table do?
I have a table called forum_Guest and it's getting really huge. Is there an efficient way to purge this table at all?

Thanks,

Theo

The Guest table should clean itself up daily (as long as you have someone visit the forum at least once a day). You can also delete rows from the table manually, the only side effect being that the who's online might have a broken time.

Man, it's not cleaning itself up at all. It's hundreds of megs.

What does the $CFG->{last_guest_cleanup} say was the last cleanup time?

I took another look at the code and it doesn't look like there's any problems with just wiping that table's contents.

Thanks for checking. Emptying the table didn't seem to cause any problems?
