Are the forum archives down?

I'm getting a database error when I try to access posts in the forum archives. I am just wondering what the situation is.

Re: Are the forum archives down?

Hmm...

I can view all the thread topics and navigate around the archives, but when I click on a post to read it I get the database error. I've tried it on two locations on different computers now. I don't really know anything about this kind of stuff though. Nobody else is having the problem?

As I recall, you have to be a paying subscriber here to access the archives... it's one of the reasons I found other places to post. That and getting extremely tired of trying to reason with the unreasonable... know what I mean?

Re: Are the forum archives down?

I have the same problem. Something's borked.

I think, though, that only Marc has the access to fix it.

Re: Are the forum archives down?

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Got into the server and repaired the db. It appears to be working now. Quite odd really considering it doesn't receive much activity and the main index page was still working.

Thanks again!

Re: Are the forum archives down?

I will also add that the Archive site is running on Beta software. I will not update the software here until it is at least RC stage, which I expect to go to that stage in the next day or week.

Thanks a bunch. It looks like they're back up. I'm able to access them again.

Sorry for the worry. It seems to have resolved itself right after my testing post. If you want more info, I'll PM you.
