Clicking on the New Posts I get back no posts after 8:05 AM. Threads with additional posts are not showing them whether using User CP, New Posts or Forum navigation. New Posts first result: \* If those of you in snowy climes want a laugh… Colophon Today 08:05 AM\* ---

It appears to be fixed now. ---

For the time being I’m going to leave this thread open for further complaints/weird error messages/anything you get that is out of the ordinary to show Jerry. ---

“MySQL Error : MySQL server has gone away” I have notified Jerry. ---

Well, I just logged in for the first time today, and while the forum listing page lit up properly for new posts, none of the individual forum pages do. So everything looks like it has no new messages (and yes, I’m still logged in). ---

I couldn’t even log in earlier. It kept returning to the logging in page. And there’s been a few “no data contained on this page” messages on a couple of the threads. ---

I’m getting repeating errors too. Either “database down” messages or else some kind of generic “server can’t be reached” message from my browser (sorry, don’t remember the exact message). It’s been happening intermittently between 9am and noon EST. ---

I’d like to take this opportunity while the board is up to make irrational complaints, empty threats, and meaningless comparisons to other message boards. Who’s with me? ---

We’ve been having database problems. Jerry’s working on it. Your patience is appreciated. ---

I was getting a database error most of the morning - I could sometimes get to the home page, but not always, and clicking on a particular forum triggered the database error signal most of the time. ---

I didn’t try this morning, but that’s what I found this afternoon. Seems to be OK now, though. Thanks, SDMB PTB! ---

One envisages the MySQL server storming out of the door, suitcase in hand, having left a note on the fridge, “I’ve had it with this relationship! Goodbye. And make your own dinner!” ---

Jerry must have come home with chocolates and roses. Dinner is served. (And I’m closing this thread.)
