I switched to an older database where I hadn't performed a vacuum and I was still capable of doing so. I created a new database also and vacuumed after playing 20 hands and then it was able to select the board textures. So I imagine something went wrong when I vacuumed my original database... Anyone any idea what to do?
////EDIT
now I am selecting specific dates and it seems that after a certain date I can select board textures... weird
