Posting was again impossible... clock got weird once again. Is it the databas or the server or isthe forum being hacked or something?
It really starts to p** me off.

If i press F5 for a couple of times i see the time notation on this forum switching back and forth... something is definetely wrong. Logged on memeber appear and disappear aswell. Strange...

I had trouble too...I really believe it is a hacking problem...not a server one...it would explain it's recent (and constant) occurrences.There are people who want this site to fail and have tried by various means to achieve this end...I can only suppose as technology increases..so do the weapons...and hopefully the defences...if it is a hacker problem...there will be ways of tracing the perpetrator(s) and hopefully they'll be named and shamed...after all they aren't fans in the true(or for that matter..ANY..)sense of the word!!!

I hope they'll sort it out fast. Unfortunately all software and operating systems seems to come with many bugs and security holes in them. I just hope the patch them up for this forum/database/server before things get worst.

Now i have the situation that when i've posted something: the time notated is one minute in the future. So my own post shows up as unread or new item i haven't read yet. And if i was to post something within one minute after that one i not allowed... warning sign comes up.

Maybe the clock is being hacked, i don't know, but maybe the database with all the post has become buggy. At least some parts of the system are out of sync, "that's for sure".

The "clock" is seriously AWOL. Nothing makes sense in the current Time Continuum.. Is it day, is it night? Is it morning, is it light??
I posted this last year at 45:00 hrs GMT on the Plentieth of Grejember.

Is it only me having trouble tonight???I managed to post a couple of times then after that I was constantly being told..."You cannot make a post so soon..etc"...yet other people have managed to post(more than once) since then...yet oddly enough the times listed for their postings are "BEFORE" mine.
At first I thought the amount of people(19) on the posting rota thing was to blame...but it has never been a problem before(if it has...only recently).
Another odd thing I've noticed...everytime this problem arises I get one of my anti-virus thingys coming into play...coincidence????
I'm still hoping someone with the technical know-how will tell me that it is due to the actions of some reprobate poster,up to some no-good shennanigans.....just 'cos I'm paranoid,it doesn't mean I'm wrong!!!!....LOL

The thing with hackers is that the often like to make themselfs known to have hacked something. Here i don't recall ever getting any such announcment. So it might just as well be an irritating bug on /in the server or database that's causing all this mayhem... oh well annoying effects. Or something is just not configured well, conflict between two settings or something like that.

It would be nice to get an official explanation from the webmaster or so.

That software might be to blame could be very plausible but sometimes it's just something simple like lack of knowledge or miscommunication.

This keeps popping up for me right now:

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
There is a problem with the CGI server. Please notify Member Support.
