here's where Lex is talking about
after a day of my site being down...I thought it was my host at first but then turns out it wasn't....for me I was seeing database error message but for everoyne else the site was fine....
after checking error logs httpbl was the one giving issues...which again is strange as it hadn't ever popped up before
https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=576208.0after fixing the default to null, the last error that showed up was
Database Error: Data too long for column 'ip' at row 1<br /><br /><br /> INSERT INTO smf_log_httpBL(`logTime`, `ip`, `threat`, `last_activity`, `suspicious`, `harvester`, `comment`, `url`, `user_agent`, `errorNumber`, `username`, `raw`, `stopped`)<br /> VALUES<br /> (1609402130, '2601:805:8204:1430:7415:e9a:1fa1:68ab', 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, '/index.php?action=enotify', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/87.0.4280.88 Safari/537.36', 200, 'Guest', 'unknown', 2)
