Apologise is spelled with an 's' instead of a 'z'? lol, who's running that show?

This never happened to me until the last month or so. Now it happens quite often and I have to refresh a lot to get to T4R. Sometimes I just close out and forget about it. I run IE and Firefox.

thats the one!

Database error is getting old. I had to give up earlier trying to access this site.

That message usually comes up before a server crash.

I get this damn thing all the time at night when I get on. I assume it is because so many people are on and it gets overloaded. BTW its really fricken annoying if anyone who can fix it is listening. Thanks

I get it each time I try to post. Just happened trying to post this message. Afterwards the site goes realy slow also like now trying to repost this message.

so is there going to be a resolve to this issue? I'm still getting the database error on a regular basis...the whole april fools thing was funny, but lets get it fixed...and btw, when are we going to update the banner?? thanks

The VBulletin software needs to be updated before any banners . Like yesterday !!

It's been happening to me less frequently but it's still happening.

I've been getting this error alot. especially today and its 10:30 am Mountain time so I dont think its because of an overload of web traffic to the site.

I dont know much about websites and forums aside from how to use them but I've heard alot of people mention the fact that this forum is way out of date and should be updated to the new version of vbulletin. Is this in the works?

I'll continue searching the forums to see if this is discussed elsewhere but this is the only thread I found when I searched this.

*EDIT* I know the Vbulletin and the "database error" probably dont have anything to do with eachother, I was just curious about whats going on with the forum software.

:iagree: and because of it have cut way back on looking at the forum.

Me too, lately.
I've had to go elsewhere when I get those database errors, sometimes it takes awhile for it to let you see a page.
