Free Welding Forum SQL Database Errors

[LONGEVITY]

Hello All,

We are working hard and have notified our hosting company that our website forum is experiencing major problems with posts. We ask that you guys stay patient with your posting. Currently, if you attempt the same post 3-4 times, it will finally go through. I am sorry with the issues this has caused.

For now if you get the General Error page just hit the Back Button in your browser and click on the submit button again.

No worries. I'm not really big on "forums", and this is the only one I subscribe to, but it really does seem to be a good one. - Nice people of all kinds, and everyone seems so willing and happy to help. It's quite addictive really. It seems to be the first thing I look at when I sit down at the computer.

Anyway, I'm just glad you people have set it up. If a few glitches annoy people, it just illustrates the value it is providing for us.

By the way - don't you ever get a day off??

Cheers,
Art Randall

Art,

Thanks for the kind comments. I emailed you a preview of the new forums! If you think they are addictive now, wait a little longer.

Until the problem is corrected, I suggest you copy the text of your post before hitting submit. That way if it fails you don't have to retype everything.

Just sent a PM to the admin before seeing this. Yes, when I hit "back" all fields are cleared and I have to start all over again, ouch! This one went the first time, but the edit took 4 tries.

I performed some database maintenance today to see if I could clean up the errors but they are still present. I still maintain it is a problem with the SQL service on the host server.
By the way, after typing your post and before posting copy the text. If the post fails just paste it again, it will save a bunch of work.
