to quote mr. burns exxxccellleeennnt. l am getting in but am still getting database errors every so often. Due to the nature of the problem and its solution it could be a matter of days or even weeks before these errors stop completely, but i can tell you the worse of it is behind us, and i want to thank you all for bearing with us through the last few weeks.

Had a nightmarish spell yesterday evening and the whole main site was flashing white with no front pic! Everytime I hit the forum, 'Database Error' kept coming up and the only remedy was to leave it for a couple of hours and then come back.

And again today, had the database error screen flash up sporadically over the last couple of hours. The last one occurred at 14.42.

Around about mid-day it was running slow as a poke. Seems fine again now.

I got the database error screen for about 10 minutes today at 1:34 EST.

I had one when I was on about 2 hours ago.

Dunno if anyones been experiencing the problems I've had over the last two days but it has taken a serious amount of effort to get on. The navbar at the top hasn't been showing up, I wait and then it says 'Internet Explorer cannot show the page'. Five or more attempts later and I finally got in. Happened last night and happened just now at 19.20.

Im having the same problems as you capn,its taking forever to load pages up,if they appear at all!a couple of times ive typed up quite long posts,then when ive hit submit its hung for a while,then just come up with the "this page cannot be displayed" message & ive lost what i typed which is annoying!hence my absence at the moment as its frustrating more often than not!When i open the main homepage, quite often the nav bar doesnt appear but the main page does,and sometimes its the other way round,the nav bar appears but the rest of the page just stays white...

Tricky - I always CTRL+C all my text in a post before clicking Quick Reply or whatever. ALWAYS. Because if you get that bugger up, you've got that text saved on your computer's 'clipboard'. It's just a little thing I do, really helps whenever the untoward happens. Of course, sometimes I've been writing a lot and then the computer crashes, but that's not the forum...that's just f*ckin' ghey.

Do you guys come to the forum via the main page (homepageofthedead.com) and just click the forum tab, or do you do what I do and just come directly to the forum? I seem to have less issues when I come straight to the forum (forum.homepageofthedead.com) However, this is not a good fix, it buggers up a lot doing this as well. I do notice, even from work that the forum takes a very long time to load. In fact in the last hour I have been online 6:30am EST - 7:30am EST, the forum is taking approximately 45-60 seconds to load enough data just to make a reply, the full complete load takes 2+ minutes. I think the server hosting this site is screwed. However, using the direct link seems to cut down on the amount of issues.
