Title: Problem with New Replies and Unread Topics
Post by: Shecky on November 13, 2007, 03:56:07 PM
Each time I click on either of these, I get this:

Database Error
Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.

I hereby do so. ;D

Yeah, so far it seems to be confined to McAnnaly's.

Not for me - I get that error message when I click on either New Replies or Unread Topics, independent of McAnally's.

I've found that I can get into those topics that are blocked right now, if I've posted in them in the past.  Go into your Profile and click on "View Posts".  You can click on the topic link and get in there.  If you post, after you hit submit you'll get that annoying error message, but the post does go through.

Oh, I can get into posts and threads; I was simply deprived of the convenience of one-click checking of everything I haven't yet seen. ;D

I can't get into the Mcnallys thread at all. I can view my posts that are in threads in there but I can't change pages in the threads.

Strange.  I can get into the various threads from my previous posts, and I can switch pages within that thread, but I can't go to a different topic.  Is that what you mean?

Well I can get into the various threads I've posted in but only the pages that I posted on. I can't view the other pages or switch to other threads

I hope it gets fixed soon, otherwise I'll have to do some work.  That would be bad.

lol Helen...

Yep no author/no McAnnally's...  I got into one, then tried back and it all disappeared.  Figure Fred or Iago will get on it.  BTW - was it Fred's voice I heard reading a review on the Mario Galazy Game?  Sounded familiar...  voice slightly off, but the vocal pattern as the same...

Ive been having that problem but tried some other sites then came back and lo and behold I found this thread through unread topics when the board finally deigned to let me in. ;D
I hope it doesn't break again - I'm not in the mood!

ETA
And now I can't get in again. Oh well I guess I'll try again tomorrow!

Has someone reported this to Iago yet?  He is the Forum Admin.

I would, but can't from where I am right now.

Tarnation.

I had two pages of unread posts. Page 1 would list fine, but Page 2 wouldn't come up. I was reading new posts okay for a while, but eventually I hit an unread post that didn't want to list properly, and now Page 1 won't come up either.

It seems like maybe there's a certain problem post(or maybe more than one) which is causing the error, rather than a forum-wide bug. Based on the "he who smelt it, dealt it" technique of investigation, I blame Shecky.

I'll see what I can do. 

No promises that I'll get it fixed, but I'll poke at things and pray a whole lot.

We'll pray with you.
