Its a miva based system. The problem seems to occur at roughly 3000 messages but has happened at 2000 and as high as 6000. Apparently some error occurs in the database and it looses the associations between the messages.
I'm not terribly fond of Ezboard but have used it for some time in other subjects and it serves the purpose though it does take some getting used to. Unfortunately until I can generate sufficent funding to upgrade to a server I am limited as to options at the moment.
I do not plan creating seperate groups within the ezboard area, this will allow the subject to be grouped in one folder. An added bonues is that popular discussions will stay at the top instead of being buried.
