Could you avoid starting new threads on this please. There are a number already which can be used.
 
Thanks.

Actually I've only been getting that trying to access the forums.
 
Like Friday I think it was...I could get to the main site but not the forums.

My initial statement is false. It's not only the forum but also the main website.

It's a serious test of patience this weekend.

Yes, there really does seem to be ongoing hitches at the moment which makes browsing the forum problematic. Best of luck resolving them!

Already a thread on this, folks: Frequent 'Server errors'.

BTW, it seems to have improved slightly.

I have had problems again for the last few days.Pages taking forever to load and almost everytime I post I get this after an intermittent period
 
Server Error in Forum Application
An error has occurred while writing to the database.
Please contact the forum administrator.

Support Error Code:- err_SQLServer_save_new_post_data
File Name:- new_post.asp

Error details:-
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server

Some of my responses in the forum I have posted 4 or 5 times.

I don't want to be  a nuisance. I know M@x does all he can and there's 98012 things to do in PA. But the server or whatver problems that make this wesbite (the forum) too slow to browse are still here and at times worse than ever. Yesterday I tried to enjoy PA as any saturday but i just couldn't do it, it was taking more than one minute to load a page IF the page was loaded at all. I was going to make some posts but in the end I didn't post once the entire day. Seeing the posting count and the movement of threads yesterday, I'm sure more people felt the same way. Finally, and sadly, it's satrting to become a real problem to be able to do anything on this forum.
 
Just expressing my concern. For a site I love and use every single day. I'm enjoying it less now, because I can never be sure if I'm going to be able to read or post something.
