Database error accessing threads?

Anybody having problems accessing threads on FTE?
Over the last 2 weeks I seem to get this fairly often, both at
home on my Win-duhs PC and around town on my 4G phone...

Welcome to FTE!

It's a known problem that occurs for different reasons. The most recent was when a piece of equipment failed and IB had to switch to an older backup thing-a-majig.

I havent had much problem with database errors, but i've been having an issue with page re-directs. Its like it goes to load a thread then redirects to an FTE page that doesnt exist, because I get FTE's 404 page. I can hit the back button and it pulls the thread back up.

Other problem Ive been having is with the ads. There's been times where the forum stuff starts halfway across the screen and only occupies the right half of the screen and the left half stays white or has ads out in the middle of it.

I can't help with the ad question, sorry. When a user becomes a "Supporter" advertisements go away.

Bro, you gotta support the forum! Just chip in a little bit, its not expensive. You will NOT believe how much nicer it is WITHOUT the ads. No ads.....none. Plus you're helping to keep this thing going....this really helpful informative thing that helps you get to know your Ex better than anything else.

We jokingly refer to this as your "online support" and I think that about sums it up. And just think....NO ADS!

Sincerely,
Karl

I dont mind the ads. I just mind when a 1 inch wide ad takes up 6 inches of screen width....

I'll become a supporter one of these days...
