Database Errors

This is getting ridiculous. Is anybody working on this problem or is it being ignored while hoping it'll just go away??

Smartie, us Mods can't do anything at all about it. Only the Admin can. All we can do is wait and see if she manages to fix it.

The good thing is that at least there isn't as many database errors as there were months ago, before the upgrade.

There still are plenty, though.

For those of us who are posting on a short time available slots, like when on the phone, it a major impediment to continuing a discussion.

The frequency has dropped, though, but not to a comfortable level.

Some problems today, but not tonight.

The DBEs don't seem to last very long anymore... that's some improvement. But ITA about how irritating it is to catch a few minutes to post... and get locked out.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Mak, I don't see how a database error 'improves' without somebody knowing what's causing it.

Yeah I know, not very techie... but like I said in the OP... are we just hoping it will finally HEAL without any further action on the administrator's part?
