I would rarely get the error. It's pretty much just stops doing what it was doing and tells me "Done." at the bottom. Haven't had the problem in the last two days.
I got dB errors several times last night around midnight or so. It would only happen when I clicked on the 'Unread Posts' link in the upper right hand corner.
I am a couple updates behind on the current forum software. It will be a couple more weeks before I can update that.
It's 2.06EST and I find myself yet again as aMiserable User: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage Most likely causes: You are not connected to the Internet. The website is encountering problems. There might be a typing error in the address. What you can try: Diagnose Connection Problems More information This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including: Internet connectivity has been lost.

This has been my experience of late (since around Christmas), perhaps once a day. I'll attempt to view a thread, and only the post at the top of the page will load. Like gatordev, all I have to do is refresh the page and it works as advertised. Not much of an inconvenience; just something I've noticed. I haven't had any of the other issues, such as what heyjoe just posted. FWIW, I'm also operating on FireFox 2.0.0.11.
Whoa - wha happened? I sure was miserable for a spell and when I finally got back on-line, there was Mr Machine on-line.....
I thought it was bad karma for laughing at all yall who were having problems with forum pages not fully loading...
I did find some more database issues today. Before they were fixed, I'm sure the site was pretty miserable to use (heyjoe). We now need to figure out why the database tables are having issues.
I know it ain't easy so I was just making light of it. A lot of folks take things for granted and don't even know there is a man behind the curtain that just wants to be ignored.
If it helps, it appears to only happen when I click on unread posts under my user name, or New posts on the menu...
