happened to me once

a few times to Cow and banningZ

I've gotten a few database errors this morning.

The things you're mentioning were weird log-ins asking for user name & password.

Any specific threads? what section of the forum?

it happened to me when i clicked "New Posts"

that database error happens, i go back to homepage, click new posts and happened like 5 times in a row.

Actually while I'm at work, I can't click the links to threads on the right. I have to open the main thread, then go to the thread that I want in order for it to work. It could be an I.P. thing from work computers or some ****

The database error happened with every link I tried to click (I'd done a new posts search & was going through opening new threads into tabs).

From my experience on other forums, the database errors happened when the volume of traffic exceeded the server's limitations-- the error can happen for other reasons, but that seems to have been the most common.

Regarding the other issue, I've not encountered the phantom login since Saturday night. It first happened when I tried to delete a certain spam post & then happened a few other times in different threads.

authentication??? that's weird

The thread must have a picture or link (most likely picture) from a private album. The same exact thing happened when "nogood" posted some pics in a "Premium Members Lounge" from a private album.

As for DB errors, I just clicked on 20 different threads. Seems okay .... (?)

my bad

It seems to have passed. I've not gotten any after the initial wave.

DB error i was getting it yesterday on the useless thread. For about an hour. I nearly lost the plot. lol

i deleted a bit of pics i had from the useless thread, most were from my photobucket

nogood ftl. Take away his life time membership and give it to me.

It did it on anything I clicked on. Meaning it just couldn't access the database so the whole forum part of the site was down. :(

You might want to have your host check their logs as it could be a utilization issue on the server being overloaded.

It did that to me once or twice, but I just kept refreshing and it went away.

yeah, a review of the log files will definitely point the admin in the right direction. Most likely, there were far too many connections for the database to even reply to. Usually end-users us would get connect timeouts or just a generic error screen , which seems to be the case. It's also possible that the application or web-server were slammed too ( too much traffic ) , causing the application not to be able to communicate with the database.

Just had the Database Error happen again for about ~2 mins @ 08:18am AZ Time

^same here

Having this prob again.

I logged out to clear cookies, and now it keeps logging me out every time I close the page, but the errors went away. Weird. Also noticed that the images of Rep, alert button, and avatars are not loading. They seem to be fine though if you refresh the page or sometimes they correct when you scroll over them. IDK.

Maybe the site is just moody.

i did not notice any of that and i'm here 24/7.....lol
