I agree, but they're an important part of keeping the spam on these forums to a minimum while still giving new users a chance to use the forum. The system automatically ugrades you to verified user once you've made a certain number of non-spam posts, but I've short-cut the procedure and have upgraded you manually so you should no longer get the questions.

(There's another forum which I administer under contract, not using vBulletin; it got so bad keeping up with spammers, that they've decided to spend the money on vBulletin.)

lol the problem I had was 9 or nine was not accepted for that one :)
 
Update - Do not update to 5.5.25. Wait for 5.5.25a (aka 5.5.25.1) when it's released, due to disk usage issues.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/news-5-5-25a.html

If you are already using 5.5.25, continue to monitor your disk usage to ensure your disks are not filling up.
If your disks are filling up, then downgrade to 5.5.24 until 5.5.25a is released.

Custombuild has been reverted to use 5.5.24 for now, until 5.5.25a is released.

When i look in build,

MySQL 5.5.25 to 5.5.24 update is available.

When i check in directadmin, its show still the 5.5.25


So what is the probblem?
 
Im dowgrade it to 5.1.63 and then upgrade to 5.5.24, its work now.

But i think this is not the normal way
 
If your disk isn't filling up, then you may be ok.
If you do need to downgrade, then you can try the --force option, eg:
Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/mysql
rpm -Uvh MySQL*5.5.24*.rpm

any word on when version "a" will be out?
looked briefly but did not see anything really.
I've been ok so far but am monitoring.
 
Hello,

We too are monitoring the release page.
If anyone notices that it's updated they can post here for a quicker update.
I'm not sure that the changes in 5.5.25 were anything immensely critical.

custombuild on files1 now has 5.5.25a.

Strange, normally it resolves within 24 hours to the other servers.
We are 2 days further now, but it's still not present at files6 at the moment.
