I've gotten about eight such errors in twenty minutes of browsing the forum today.

Just about to query this myself - but got a Database error trying to post, and when trying to attach a screen shot !!

I have been getting errors too, on my phone and laptop. It works second go usually.

The Forum was offline for maintenance earlier today. This often causes database connection errors while offline.

OK, thanks for the explanation and update.

I see a handful of errors over the past several hours, but this should now be sorted. If it happens again, just refresh the same page and it should go through normally.

Same here. Will see what's going on.

This phenomenon is now reaching even Australia.
One would think that this kind of bugs would not touch us, after all we are so far away.......
They must get hold of TARDIS.

We've now upgraded the DB to a newer version, as the old one reached end of life. Hopefully this will ensure better stability going forward.

Still getting errors this morning 8:00am EDT
