    I've now started to get downtime where the forum is unavailable with this message:

    The MoneySavingExpert.com forums database has a minor glitch. This should rectify itself quite quickly. Usually waiting 30 seconds and refreshing will have it working fine. We are currently working on a long term solution that should make the forums more stable.

    Who's fiddling with the controls :mad: :mad:

    It's all been zipping along smoothly all morning and now it's taking ages to load pages and send replies and keep getting the apology/glitch message :rolleyes:

    OK. :confused::confused::confused::confused:

    Now things are really getting odd.

    I replied to a thread on DFW, and now I cannot load up that board while logged on.

    If I log off, the board will load but does not show that I have replied. But if I load the thread in question, my reply is there.

    If I try to log on again then I can no longer load DFW.

    :rotfl::rotfl:

    OK. That has fixed itself, but my reply above doesn't show on the front page for this board now for me (yet :rolleyes:).

    I think the forum database server is having a bad day. :undecided

    I'm just so sorry to be back but for the first time I had very strange preview of my posts - I normally don't do a preview but my posts were incomplete and distorted

    here's the copy and paste of the error that occured that said I've no connection speed issues but search from profile or posts continues to be tedious

    meher, are you sure you didn't just cut 'n' paste one of Ted's posts there? ;)
