When replying to threads this morning in various different forums, i'm getting this error:

But the post goes through anyway. Also getting intermittent database errors.

edit: Didn't get it when creating this new thread though.

Odd. Any forums in particular?

"Building & Upgrading" was one anyway, think I got it on the Kilkenny forum too.

You're not going mad, I got one too.

Usual "Server lost connection to MySQL during query" error. Maybe the database box is having a bit of a freak attack this morning.

At a push, I would guess this occurs when using the proper reply box and not the quick reply, but don't quote me on that.

Quick reply test!


<edit>
Quick reply seems to be working.

Oo it worked. Haven't seen any DB errors in the last hour, perhaps Regi spannered it?

Yeah, I got it in that bastion of sophistication, the Beer Guts and Receding Hairlines forum, only two minutes ago.

Ironically, I just got it while trying to reply to this thread. There's a funky thread o'er in Bands/Musicians which can't be accessed from the front page (three times it's there) yet appears once you go through the forum to the thread, although it is missing all content.

It took me about 5 attempts to reply to a thread on the photography forum a few minutes ago - kept timing out after submitting the reply. Of course when it eventually worked the reply was there 5 times :eek:
