Well.. Looks like I spoke too soon. There was some data corruption that was not recovered with the backup. About a dozen threads sprinkled through out the entire board were affected with garbage characters. I had to delete those threads. Sorry for the inconvenience. If anyone finds a thread with strange characters or members who's status says "unregistered", please point me to it. I think I have caught all the instances. Seems to have hit threads occuring around the new year hours.
I will probably have to bring the board down for a short while later this afternoon to run a full diagnostic to ensure there are no other hidden issue.
