Getting database error attempting to access User CP

I am able to read forums but when I click on "User CP" I get this:

Jeff, when last did you try this?

I just tried it and had no problems? We all know the server gets wacky now and then (I am currently unable to merge 2 posts lol)

I'm getting that too Jeff. It just started about an hour ago. It only happens when I click UserCP on the Sidebar (Firefox), but not on the Login bar.

I just tried the side bar and the login bar, had no problems with either.

Anyone else having a problem with this?

Now I'm getting error on both.

Both work at my end (Firefox) now. Sunday "speed-bump"(?).

I normally use Chrome, now on FF, will try here and report back

OK, I get an error on both now.
Going to close and come back on IE

hmm I couldn't even post this in FF...

On Edge now, will try them again

On Edge now, will try them again

hmm OK could not post from either FF or IE, but both CP's gave an error

LOL and now I get a double-post

wow 5 duplicate posts, sorry

Nothing back from the TT (as expected though)

Thanks for the feedback, Jeff
