Haha I knew I'd draw someone in to ask that :)

I was just on the who's online page and 6+ people were all performing a "Bad Action"

Did you determine what this was? I've noted a few myself. I halfway suspect users attempting to validate membership using broken URL's. Some e-mail programs break those long confirmation URL's into two lines and users can't seem to grasp the concept of grabbing the entire string. Have added a comment about this to the validation e-mail, but there will always be some who can't fit the square block into the round hole.

That's just my guess.

How about this one, "URL Forwarding"? Is there an ability to e-mail a thread or url via the board to someone? I haven't stumbled across it yet if there is.

It may have been the failed deletes. It shouldn't (normally) be possible to cause a Bad Action without manually putting in a URL.

I just installed the update on that deletion bug and it's working nicely now. But I doubt that's the cause of the "Bad Action" message, at least on my board, my users are still getting over the shock of switching system and only a small handful have been brave enough to post let alone delete something.

I've also noted several users in "URL Forwarding" that I've not determined the meaning of yet.

URL forwarding is when they click on a url in a post and it redirects them.

Cheers,

What about the Database server or another application server being down? I've stumbled accross a 502 error a few times, where your error pages politely tell me that you're upgrading a part of the demo software and/or restarting an application server.
