I'll let the tech dept. know

vyon · Sep 22 2018, 10:03 AM

Yes, me too.

**Cheryl** · Oct 3 2018, 05:28 PM

We did some system maintenance this weekend, which I hoped would resolve this problem, but it seems it did not. We'll investigate further and hopefully get it fixed soon.

**Cheryl** · Oct 3 2018, 05:34 PM

Aha! I seem to have found how to fix it myself, without having to call in the big tech guns. Huzzah!

Please let me know if you have any further issues.

Dragon Fan · Oct 4 2018, 09:28 PM

outstanding !

They are back.

P'ter · Oct 23 2018, 04:50 AM

I could not even get in.

vyon · Oct 23 2018, 07:35 AM

On again, off again, on again ...
I haven't been able to get in for days. Now that I am in, I got "Database error" on the new postings heading too.

Allen · Oct 23 2018, 09:44 AM

I really don't enjoy posting about bad news, so I won't say I couldn't get into the site. I'll just say I'm glad to be able to be back in.

**Cheryl** · Dec 1 2018, 03:44 PM

Is anyone still having random database errors?

P'ter · Dec 2 2018, 05:42 PM

Yes on odd days I can't get into the site. I usually get the message "Database not found".

Dragon Fan · Dec 4 2018, 05:55 PM

Just on the "New Post" link the last few days, and only once when trying to log on. All are working OK now. Thank you.

Allen · Jan 13 2019, 05:34 PM

I keep getting them all the time. This is the first time I've gotten on in at least 2 days.

vyon · Jan 14 2019, 07:43 AM

Me - but as you can see I'm back in tonight.

P'ter · Jan 14 2019, 03:43 PM

Me too. Couldn't get in all weekend.

***Hans*** · Jan 15 2019, 04:40 PM

I couldn't get in either and let Cheryl know. Got fixed quicky after that.

mawra · Jan 15 2019, 08:03 PM

I've had problems getting on last week.

Allen · Jan 18 2019, 04:25 PM

Couldn't get in this morning and yesterday morning. Both times I clicked on the contact button on the error page which let me email Kenneth. Both times the problem was fixed, at least for the rest of the day.

If the problem repeats tomorrow, I think I'll be on my way to setting a new record. We'll have to see! LOL!

Allen · Jan 19 2019, 11:04 AM

Got in here with no problems first try today. There goes my streak. Oh well. LOL.

**Cheryl** · Jan 19 2019, 08:38 PM

I've had my spouse teach me how to fix it, so assuming I can remember I can get it fixed much faster now. Feel free to email me at cheryl @ srellim.org to let me know when it's down.

Unfortunately it will keep happening, as we're running a very out-of-date version of the forum software. At some point, when I and the spouse have a big enough block of time, I will purchase the current version and we will upgrade, but there will be a lot of work involved as they've made major changes to the software.

Allen · Jan 24 2019, 10:52 AM

I'm probably going to jinx it, but since you posted that you now knew how to fix it I think there has only been one brief time that I couldn't get in. Maybe the software just needed to hear from you.
Maybe it was lonely and missed you.
Maybe it just needed a woman's touch.
Maybe I should shut up now.

**Cheryl** · Jan 27 2019, 09:58 AM

LOL

Allen · Jan 27 2019, 11:07 AM

I wrote to Cheryl yesterday, after not being able to get in.
As predicted above.
That's why she's laughing.
Amusing, in a back-handed sort of way.
Thank you.
