I got a call from Thumper this evening and apparently several people, Thumper included, are experiencing continual errors when trying to access the forum. We're not quite sure what the problem is... but hopefully it's a temporary regional or ISP issue. A lot of people, myself included, have not experienced any errors at all. So if you're having problems viewing threads or posting please rest assured that we're aware of the problem and are doing everything in our powers to resolve the issue. Thanks for your understanding!
Sorry the forum went down for a few minutes, but we just upgraded our database server. There were problems with server pool we were using and that was the cause of the database errors many of you were getting the last few days. Hopefully this will resolve the problem for good.
