No, but I saw database errors and horrendous slowdowns a couple days ago late night/early morning.
I'm thinking either we are having high server load (doesn't seem to be the case judging only by number of users, unless spammers or hackers are involved) or someone is tweaking vB (the actual mysterious forums adminstrator, perhaps) .
how come i got logged out and no one else did? : /

I shall consider that answer. ()Maybe you were the reason for the database error?![]()
So they know I am from Russia now?![]()

It's getting worse overall.
The response time when opening a message, replying, etc. is taking very long.
Yeah.
This is why I've said in the past that it would be nice if we could get regular updates from the forum administrator (I mean the actual one in charge, not the people who just have the fancy titles).
But every time I make that suggestion, I either get asked "what for? nothing is going on, anything major like forum switch gets posted anyway", or told "the moderation/administration staff has nothing to do with the technical aspects of running the forums".
Which kind of sucks, because obviously the forums here are very glitchy compared even to far larger forums, and apparently it's not even just dependent on forum software since it's been unpredictable on FuseTalk and now vB.
At least a heads up would be nice before maintenance is done on the server. I've said this a thousand times, but can't we do something about the disconnect in the running of the forums and the main site? It's a tech website for crying out loud!
