Hasn't happened since I mentioned it yesterday.

It was just a tad annoying yesterday, as I put in a long answer.....twice....and got the same message both times....So I gave up.  :(
Interesting if Will had a similar prob....and Steve.....Though Steve's seems to have worked, even with the error message coming up.
Where were you two trying to post ?

Mine were failing in "A tale of four gamers".....Perhaps I ought to give that thread another go. :-

That's where I was trying to post too.

Just tried testing there again.(ATO4G)

Database error came up.

Oh ye of little faith......I'll accept everyone's apologies for doubting my incredible technological savvy.  =O =O =O =O =O =O =O =O
Be useful to know if it affects everyone who tries to post there, if anyone's got a couple of minutes to waste.

One for Leon to pass on to Matt ?

OK -serious point. The thread has 192 pages, and is very picky heavy. I suspect that the allocated storage space is exhausted, and would need to be expanded to allow more posts.

Solutions -

1) Allocate more space - but would have to remove from somewhere else.

2) Close and archive the current thread, starting a new one.

I suspect several other threads may hit similar problems, let you guess which

Thanks, Ian.
That makes sense, even to a muppet like me.

I notice 'The other thread' has quite a few more pages.....But perhaps the piccies are much smaller 'file wise' ? (I'm sure there are some really big files in ATO4G)
I'll let Leon know.....If he hasn't already spotted this.

Maybe...As you say....If nothing else....We'll have to start a "A tale of four gamers" part two ?
I could delete the last post in the thread to see what happens...But I'd rather not mess around with stuff I don't really understand.  :-[

In a long career as an IT person, I have discovered that the two main causes of ICT problems are:

     1) Fingers
     2) Brains

These two need to be eliminated before as a cause of the error before any deeper investigation is undertaken.

It's usually a PICNIC error.

I've done a couple of quick tests on it, deleted a couple of old posts in it, but not fixed unfortunately.  As much as it pains me to say, Ian might be right about something and the thread could have reached it's limit...  :(

So, would SteveJ like the honour of starting us a fresh 'A Tale of...' thread?

Just tried posting a new batrep and all I got was this:

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

Re-tried, but no pics linked this time and it still failed :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Whenever I get it, I just copy the text, click a new reply in the original thread. Paste the text and remove one word or point or something. Usually that allows me to post

Must add that it never fails when posting by mobile...
