I’m sure this has already been addressed here in ATMB, but since I keep having trouble accessing the boards I can’t really effectively check. If it has, please link me, O Great Moderators.
While trying to post in the “Christianity and Love Pt. 2” thread, I keep getting this error message:
> [@](#):
>
> Fatal error: Maximum execution time exceeded in global.php on line 489
In addition, and I’m sure you’ve already heard about this one, I keep getting this message when trying to access pages and threads:
> [@](#):

If the tech staff really does get an e-mail each time this happens, I’m sure I’ve flooded them to capacity.
FYI. Thanks.

I think the translation in plain english is “The hamster turning the wheel is currently out to lunch. Please try again later.”

One other thing is that you should check back to see if you lost a post. I lost one this morning. Fortunately I did a spell check in word and had a copy to resubmit.
