Database error?
« on: 9 February 2006, 19:06 »
Anyone else been getting database errors trying to use the forums? I got some yesterday, and there a while ago today. After a few minutes I stop getting them.

What would be wrong? All I can think of is timeouts connecting to the database.

There seems to have been a slight problem with the database.

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

They might be just server hiccups ... for numerous reasons (power issues, connection issues, etc. all probably due to temporary server problems) I get them once in a while on different sites (like once every 3 months or so on some site or other)

Ah, you're probably right. Probably nothing to worry about.

Never seen them here before, though, only on phpBB sites.  Usually means the MySQL server is offline.

It's not the operating system that fucked up, but that this website is hosted in Canada.

Well, 'nuff said.
