Followed by the insulting: “You must wait 120 seconds before searching again…”
FYI
Sorry the system sneered at you.
The entire Creative Loafing server cluster is having problems, not just us - slow loading pages on other sites, etc. I’m told a hardware fix is in the works sometime in the next few weeks.
Does that explain why I just got a database error when switching forums? I suppose it would.
FYI, I have been unable to search the SDMB for 2 days now. The curious thing is why I’m not seeing a rash of others noting the same thing.
It’s been pretty noticeable for much of the last 2-3 weeks. Sporadic, but noticeable.
I’m curious–this only happens when you try to search? Try again right now for something easy.
Database errors today- slow loading as well. Been pretty bad.
Nope, just database errors tonight as well.
I’m getting tons of them as well. I can’t even surf the damned board.
Yep - can’t open any of the Message Boards. Very sloooow loading followed by a database error message. How can I get my S.D.M.B. fix?
Yeah, when I try to search I get a database error and then “Sit in time out and think about what you did” until the timer runs out, at which point I try again and get a database error.
