Got my first one in a while yesterday (Friday).
Got one just a minute ago.
Me too. They’re getting common again. I reckon it won’t be long before we see another whitescreen message telling us that the board had to go take a doo doo.
I get them and plain white screens a couple of times per day
Happens every time I search, both yesterday and today. Or should I say “search”?
Adding a note re consistent experience over the last week or so: Search pretty much never works the first time.
I don’t search all that often, and have only been on the site for a half or so, but about every other time I try to load a page, it doesn’t end happily.
Just got one trying to load the GQ forum. I’ve been getting them randomly for at least a few days, at least.
I have been getting a lot of them tonight. The last couple of days have been fine for me however.
For pity’s sake, fix these damned errors! Please!
The constant barrage of them for six months is unacceptable.
All fucking morning. This board really sucks ass, big-time.
Last night as well. No new threads this morning…
It’s really off and on … DB errors were blocking me out of this site for the past 10 minutes. But just now – I got right in.
Last couple of days I’ve gotten a lot of hanging pages, “page not found” errors, and the like. Mainly when I’m trying to load a forum (not a thread).
What pisses me off is, I often get “Database Error” when I search – and then the system still counts it as a search and I have to wait 5 minutes to try again. :mad::mad::mad:
Yep. I get that 3 out of every 5 searches.
Alas, I can vouch for this type of error. I just got:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 24 bytes) in /home/straightdope/boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/includes/class_core.php on line 3278
while attempting a search in GD. Sounds like you folks are running short on RAM or something.
I get that, but usually it’s only certain words that trigger it.
We’re still having problems/error messages with the search function and probably will continue to do so until we are able to migrate to another search engine. This is on the list but we don’t know when that will happen. Jerry will get to it as he can.
