It appears that the forum doesn't like dangling meta data in the wp_usermeta table.

This is how I fixed the issue - wasn't that hard once you know where to look.

1. Made a backup of the tables wp_usermeta and wp_users. Just in case.

2. Determine what records in wp_usermeta is no longer linked to an existing user (NULL).

SELECT *
FROM wp_usermeta LEFT OUTER JOIN wp_users on wp_usermeta.user_id=wp_users.ID
WHERE wp_users.ID IS NULL

3. If all looks good, remove these rows 

DELETE wp_usermeta
FROM wp_usermeta LEFT OUTER JOIN wp_users on wp_usermeta.user_id=wp_users.ID  
WHERE wp_users.ID IS NULL

4. Test and verify if everything works as it should.
