Usually I can hit back or board index and be back with forum but not always. Gave up last night.

Same for me on all devices. However late today, I was able to see the board again. I seem to get this error now after every post. But the posts seem to get posted.

Same here. I was getting the same error message sometimes throughout the day in multiple devices. It has been working since late afternoon.

Yesterday was horrible -- I got that error message half the time I tried to visit the site to the point I thought it was brought down for maintenance or crashed.

Happened again a couple times this morning, too...

Ditto! But, I have no idea what's causing it.

This is also resulting in a lot of double posts since it gets posted but you think it hasn't. People can delete their own posts if they dupe it but I've been killing a lot that are double posted. Waiting for Titelines to come on and tell us what's going on and that is being fixed.

We're having issues with the database. There's a trouble ticket in with dreamhost and we're working on it.

I've managed to optimize the database and I'll be monitoring it throughout the day. Hopefully that'll clear the issue. If it doesn't, Dreamhost will move our database to another server, thinking it might be a hardware issue that is causing the problems.

So far, so good. I'll be monitoring it during the day to make sure it doesn't start up again.

This was one of those that popped up during work hours which made it more difficult to get fixed due to us being so busy at work. Glad things are holding together after this.

For me it’s been way worse past two days than it was on the 12th. Maybe there is too much data in certain tables or queries?

I was unable to access the forum at all last night, and got this message when trying to open the classifieds just now:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Table 'phpbb_topics' is marked as crashed and should be repaired [1194]

An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists.
