ok, as soon as I got on I got a ton of errors, and everything has been replaced by things saying "mySQL errors". I logged on to my profile and all of the user avatars didn't load, except for two (paladin and brown guy). I have gotten mySQL errors before, but nothing like this. When I logged on to the forum there were no links to topics, just mySQL errors.
Calm down the site is probably under maintence or there is a overload of members. For a suggestion I say we should be redirected to a page that explains the problem and gives us a est. time of when site should be back up.
I know, it's happened to me before, but it has never messed up my profile. I got really freaked out when i clicked "edit profile" and all of the text boxes had "mySQL error" written in them, instead of my profile information. it seems to be fine now though.
This happens usually if the site is busy, like John said that is normally on the weekends. If you just refresh, or come back to the site a bit later, it usually goes away.
I felt your pain, ubertuna because all morning and some of this afternoon, I couldn't do anything. It was all just mySQL things everywhere. I also got very upset, but then I just decided to log off and come back later, and I'm thankful that I did because now it's not happening anymore.
Yeah refreshing didn't really work, it just seemed to make things worse. Everything is alright now though, it just seemed that it was a little... worse... than mySQL errors ussually get.
