This morning we applied a patch for the Linux GHOST vulnerability and we had two crashed tables, sfcache and sftrack

We repaired these tables but still having small issues, the sharethis options are no longer appearing on the mobile theme/view which is one of your defaults. And there is a notification about the cache table indexes?

I have attached a screenshot, please can you confirm if I should take steps to resolve these notices.

Thanks

I don't know if you have a regime in place for optimising your database tables but if not then we would recommend it. Personally I would run a full optimisation at least once a week. It takes seconds and can keep your db tables trim and tidy. And - of course - it can be automated so you do not need to do anything.

If you look at the top line of each error log entry you will see a number in the third position. This records the number of times that condition has occurred. Your three there are 1, 1 and 2. If the numbers keep growing then something might need to be addressed. If they do not then the chances are that they are a one-off glitch that can have a thousand reasons! So that's the first thing to watch out for,

The last one of the three does, perhaps, suggest that you might want to go to the forum admin > toolbox > housekeeping and run the two tasks to clear the combined CSS and JS caches. This will force a rebuild on the subsequent page load. And that would be the time to make sure (a) all displays as expected and (b) no further errors were reported.

And then there is the Share This issue. Unless something in your theme files has changed or been corrupted then this may just be a simple matter of the 'share this' web service timing out before anything was returned - in which case nothing will get to show up. So the obvious question is - does it persist?
