Has anyone else been having this problem lately? At least half the time I try to post, the forums go Boom and my post is eaten. And it's periodic; for example, I've tried to post something like 5 times in the past 10 minutes but it won't work. But I posted something earlier in the day and it worked just fine, but the day before I couldn't post anything either.

Also, if this post works, I will cry.

Apologies for the problems guys.  We're currently looking into the issue.  We believe the problem is related to the database server, and the solution may take some time.  Please stay patient with us as we resolve the issue.  Thank you.

This is going on since I came to this forum, especially early morning EST. I think the night guys are using the server for midget porn.

3 times for me today. If the forums were working properly - what's the easiest way to post a new article, I'm always searching for a button?

Something seems to have been fixed. I was able to successfully make a post on the first attempt. It's been so bad that some time back I actually had to create a "wc forums f%^% suck.txt" (censored myself there for the forums) to save my posts to try again later. 

 

Spoke too soon...second attempt at this reply. Making a new thread seems to work, but making a reply? Nope...BOOM.

Bara...I just wanted to say thank you for being as civil as you are about this to members here and understanding of the frustrations we all have. This is how things "should" be done rather than ragging on everyone that complains about site issues as some do...that goes a long way!

Bara pays me to rag on you WG. (he doesn't know I'd do it for free. Hell! I'd pay him to do it). That way he can be sweet and 'above the fray'. Thought you'd have figured it out by now.

I've been trying to reply to the topic "Necromancy" for a couple days now. I should stop faffing about and actually go find out if there is some sort of necromancy in the game. . .

 

Huzzah forum failures! Making me productive.

I think it's a "feature" they have so that any late-night spambots can't post while all the moderators are asleep...

I sympathise with that guy. I feel like that sometimes, especially towards the photocopier...

The scary part of your video, is that I have felt that way in the past.  Makes me at least feel better that I was able to control my anger instead of expressing it as he did.

That was a lot more common before cameras were installed. Even Canada's first Prime Minister wasn't afraid to cross the floor to clobber some guy.

Macdonald's temper sometimes got the better of him, such as in one incident in the House of Commons when Donald Smith angered him so much, that he charged across the Commons floor to physically attack him. While he was restrained, Macdonald was unrepentant, proclaiming "I'll lick him faster than Hell can scorch a feather!"
