The board has been unstable tonight- not loading, getting database errors off and on. ☹ ---

Yup, the board performance has been deteriorating recently and has pretty much gone to hell. The search wasn’t working last night, and I’ve stopped searching because it is fruitless and slows the board down to a crawl anyhow. ---

And this thread still grows, but is now reduced to an ironic understatement… ---

I was notified several times that I was attempting to post a reply into a thread that I hadn’t opened. ---

I keep having the board hang for a while and then when everything pops up, every thread is already “read” so I can’t just see what’s been posted since I was here last. It’s annoying as hell. ---

Definitely buggy this morning and last night. Lots of “Bad Response From Server” and Database Errors. ---

Last night, and again this morning, I find that I can’t delete PMs from my inbox. The system lets me go through the entire process I always do in deleting them, but then nothing changes and the PMs are still there. Grrrrrrrrrr. ---

Same glitch as last night – no new posts showing up in forum/New Posts listings after 8:46 am CST, but they show up when you open the thread. ---

I haven’t been able to use search today. ---
