Of late, I have been experiencing a lot of technical difficulties gaining access to the forum, moving from page to page within the forum, posting etc. About 70% of the time everything is fine, response time is fine etc. But at other times:
-I cannot get into the forum for ages - when I try to verify if the site is up, I always get the response that site is up, and that it must be me or my ISP - yet all I get if I try to access the forum is a screen that screams "Database Error"
-When I post I often get the message saying that the post did not happen and that I should try again in 30 seconds - I've complied only to find that there are now 2 identical posts. So now I check to see. Usually the post is there. So why the message?
-On one thread, I got the same message and went to check and found that the post was indeed there, but that the attachment was not. So I re-posted with the attachment. checked again. still no attachment. posted again with attachment. this time no message - looked above (this time the thread is visible) only to find the atachment is now there on all 3 posts!
I have tried with Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome and the problems seem to occur with all of them. I have deleted all history, all cookies etc. Everything zapped. I have re-booted. The same applies to Safari on my iPad. I have also switched off and reset the router. All to no avail.
Is it just me or is everyone having the same level of difficulties?
If it is just me, what can I change to sort it?
Are there any settings to tweak in my browsers?
I have no difficulties with any other sites, have a powerful PC, and am running Windows7
