Slight problem with Database

[iDVFH.]

For the past hour or so I've been having to refresh the page as directed to open some of the forums and even to get on the Home page of Mac-Forums..anyone else having this problem?

 

[dtravis7]

Same here since yesterday. It was taken offline for maint late last night and was fine when it came back, but it's doing it again.

Don't worry, the problem will be fixed. Just be patient.

Is it okay to chuckle when I get a database error when visiting a thread about database errors?

 

[dtravis7]

Graphite, Yeah I figured it would be fixed soon. Happens to the best systems out there!

meltbanana314, Yeah, I got the same thing. Perfect timing!!

grrrr this is so annoying. You type a reply and when u hit post, it says error. When u click back, the page refreshes so you have lost ur reply. So annoying.

What I do is type everything in TextEdit, then I copy and paste everything over to the reply text box. I mostly do this, because I sometimes can't spell, and TextEdit helps with that. I always leave TextEdit open in the background for quick access.

you can have check spelling as you type with safari you know..

 

[dtravis7]

yes, that is a cool thing about Safari, Mail and the other built in Applications in OSX. I use Safari unless there is a rare page that does not work right then I use Firefox as a backup. Otherwise I love the way Safari works.

If you press reload then it seems to work without wiping the reply.

I've sent a note to iNet so I'll let you know when I hear anything back about a fix.

 

[Strider]

Seems to be ok now.

 

[dtravis7]

It was doing it late last night quite a bit and I got one error this morning, but so far this afternoon not a problem.

Hi guys,
I was told that the errors you were experiencing should be fixed. Recently iNet needed to migrate to an entirely new database cluster and there were a few issues which caused the errors you were receiving.

If you continue to see them, please let me or any other mod know.

Thanks for your patience!
