Database error switching between forums
« on: July 22, 2013, 03:46:21 PM »
I am getting a database error when switching between forums today. Once I am in a forum, I can click on different threads no problem. I have to log out each time I want to switch forums as a workaround.
this seems to only have this error when I am logged in though. Very strange.

Note that I have no problems in Tapatalk.

Not sure what you mean by "switching between forums"?

I believe it means that if you go to one forum section, it works, but if you go to another one, you would get the database error.  If I want to browse through a different forum section, I would have to log off of my account as well.

I'm having similar issues, so it's definitely not just one person. ^-^;

Thanks - I'd send out an SOS to alyssa but she's probably packing. ;)

Hopefully you can still enjoy the forum until we can have someone look at it.

Essentially the main forum index is down, but the sub forum pages seem to work.

Yes I can't get to the index. I'm jumping forums using my profile statistics page.

Also, the photos 2013 page is not working. Same error.

I've tried logging on as my test persona, as a guest and as myself,
I'm am not seeing the issue

I've logged on via my laptop, my tablet, my hotel wifi, my hotspot on my phone and not on the southwest wifi. 
I am still not seeing the problem.

This is not to say it isn't occurring just the if I can't reproduce the problem so I don't know where to look for the solution.

As trite as this sounds, has everyone who's experiencing the issue done the basics, like clearing their cache, etc?
Also, if anyone gets any sort of an error message, Please post it!

This is the error I get.


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

I'm on the road so I'm surfing on a iPad. No idea how to clear the cache? I've cleared the history.

I'm getting an error when I try to go into my PMs.

I can get to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login no problem. then i click on "Forum". If I am logged out (like after clearing my history and cookies) I can see all the Forum Sections.

As soon as I login i get this: Database Error "Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator."
I logout, and then I can see the sections again. If I go into a section, and login, I can navigate within that section with no problems.

So like, under the navigation buttons "home/help/search/profile/my messages/members/logout" There is the section link "Friends of Comic-Con International" Clicking on that takes me to the root of the forum, and I get the database error. If I logout, and then click on say "CCI Posts and Announcements", the link under the buttons then shows "Friends of Comic-Con International > Information Archives > CCI Posts and Announcements".

At that point, i Can login, and go into any thread within that section, post/reply etc, with no errors. But if i click on the "Friends of Comic-Con International" or the "Information Archives" under the navigation buttons, I get the Database error again. It's almost like its when the forum is checking the security table to see which section I should have access to/see. And when I am not logged in, it doesn't check that or something.
