Would someone explain this please

While reading threads I recieved this message
Warning: 1 is not a MySQL result index in admin/db_mysql.php on line 82

Huh???

I was going to MPSIMS from IMHO.

I’ve never recieved a message like this before.

That happens every so often, but nobody’s really sure what it means. Well, there’s a rumor that maybe some of the programmers over at Jelsoft might have a clue, but nobody here knows. It (or similar errors) can pop up just about any time that a page is trying to load.

Just hit “reload”, and it usually takes care of itself.

It means the database query failed, and when the forum software attempts to loop through the results, it doesn’t find anything, because there’s nothing there (thus the invalid MySQL result index.)

It happens occasionally when the database gets overloaded and barfs.*

Actually justwannano - may I call you justwanna for short?

I’m sorry, I think this message was actually meant for me. It’s part of the so-called “international gay/lesbian conspiracy thing”, which is, of course a rather lurid exaggeration.

It’s really just a bunch of like-minded individuals who show support for one another in good times and bad. Like the SDMB but on a vast international scale. We send these messages to each other a lot in code so as not to disturb non-lesbian/gay people. Sometimes they’re personal ads, sometimes they’re job offers. I can get work as a hairdresser in Hollywood any time I want. We all can! But apart from taking over the fashion industry and ruining heterosexual womens feet through faulty shoe design, it’s all perfectly harmless.

In case you’re interested, here’s what this particular message means:

Warning: 1 is not a = “Hello, and watch out! I am a single white man who is basically unhappy”

MySQL result = “I own my own place - I am a size queen - I have a lover but am unfaithful - I enjoy recreational sex - usually with large truckdrivers”

index in admin = “I have had an unusually close relationship with Ed Zotti”

/db_mysql. = “I was stabbed in the back by a dumb blonde, which has just underlined for me that relationships with young and sexy queens are only lead to a certain point”

php on line 82 = “Is it possible that I could hire your body, with a view to eventual purchase of the same? It would be a backwards step to say no. Many other people are waiting for this offer. By the way, I am ,er, over forty.”

Just one of so many similar messages! Next time you get one just shake your head and say “oh those naughty gay/lesbian conspirators!”

PS Chronos, friedo I appreciate your attempts at covering up, but why bother? As I said in my report last month to the IG/LC Pacific Rim Conference

[sub]did I just blow those guys’ cover? hope not![sub]

I just have to say: I think I am a very amusing fellow.
Not that I’m biased or anything.

Durn, Redboss, how do you guys keep track of all that?

I’m not amused.

justwannano is a happily married heterosexual male.

Justwannono, mate!

I do realise that most people find me less amusing than I do myself. So I’m okay with that

But I am concerned that you might think I was trying to hint to other folks that you weren’t heterosexual.

Not so, my friend. In fact I thought that the whole idea of what I was saying was so ridiculous that it was amusing because of that. “How far-fetched could it be?” was the kind of response I expected other Dopers to make.

I am sure nobody seriously thought that this was anything to do with your personal life.

And I state now, for the record, that this is the case. The original poster just happened to present an issue I thought I could hang a long-winded, rather feeble wheeze onto.

Also it was not true when I said in another thread that there was a version of Survivor shown here in Australia but nowhere else where there were shots of the girls competing in immunity challenges topless. This did not happen, and it was irresponsible of me to say that it did, and then examine survivor threads waiting for others to repeat the misinformation. [sub]which they did[/sub]

I eschew pranks forthwith!

[sub]Hi AKAmame![/sub]

Hey, justwanna, we all know you’re a heterosexual because you got the message and didn’t understand it. This is why the homosexual had to come here and explain it to you.

Please don’t be offended. I’d like to make sure Redboss does not eschew pranks forthwith.

P.S. You really shouldn’t be offended if someone you never met before thinks you are homosexual. It’s not an insult, just a mistake.

More’s the pity.
