XF 1.5 Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction

Hi,

Today I see I can't delete any profile post. And when I want to do it, it waits a lot and then this error comes:

Server Error

Mysqli statement execute error : Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction

Any opinion will be appreciated.

This would normally indicate something else is going on in the background that is also taking a very long time. This could be something like a user rename or deletion, for example. The error should clear, though the you'd need to identify why the initial process has taken so long. With only guessing what it is, that's very difficult. It may simply be indicative of high load on the server (if you're on a shared server, this may not even be caused by you).
