Is anybody else getting occasional errors with this board?

Let me know,

thanks

No, no SQL errors - but its possible for a "poster" to recieve errors, if an Administrator/Moderator is viewing the same page at the same time as the page is 'composed on line' in real time.
By writing offline first, and then posting...is always error free

Mike. So that's the trick. However it's often most convenient to write it straight on. Many times when submitting a post it shows "cannot display this page". Posting again shows it's already there. Hence the double posts, I presume.

sometimes when I change threads it just shows random numbers and letters. Not knowing anything about computers I don't know what causes that.

I get errors from time to time but they are PHP errors ... not SQL errors.

I don't know if the errors I get are SQL, PHP or XYZ, but very often after submitting a post I wind up at the Forum List. I return to the topic, sometimes to find the post entered and sometimes not.

Kate ... how about advice as to how to forward errors to you?

Hi Kate,

I get the occasional error, but have ignored the content. If any popup I will capture the text and forward it to you.

Good luck with that bug hunt!

I don't even know what the letters stand for. Even HTML and UBB. What's that?

Every time I have start a new thread I cannot view it and neither can anyone else. A recent thread took three attempts and there were then two unviewable redundant threads.

Even when I write off line, I still often get told there is a problem and yet the post is usually there.

I think things seem to have improved - the board seemed very buggy and unstable at first. Not so bad now. The new features are very welcome and worth the teething problems.

SQL ... Structured Query Language, the language used in most databases for DDL, DCL, and DML (hope that helped).

PHP ... Originally "Personal HomePage tools, a language used to write web applications.

XYZ ... Xenon breathing Yellow Zebra, a relative of the invisible purple rhinoceros.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. We're running the same software elsewhere and it's fine, so we think it's the hosting environment. Do please PM me if you get errors so we can sort it out.

No trick, I agree with you, I mostly write on line as well. But, my typing is poor, so if I need to write more than a paragraph, I usually write somewhere else and 'Grab and Post' into the Forum, using simple 'Notepad' (of all programs, Hehehe)

But I do get SQL errors on my website...mostly caused by lack of memory (which I find strange as I have 2meg) or getting syntax wrong (like typo errors)

SQL errors can have nothing to do with your lack of memory, personal or computer. All SQL executes on the back-end database which I suspect is MySQL.
