Welcome To Websleuths # 3

[1&2&3]

This is an error message not seen before. I was trying to post in the forum “ Brazen Sex....”. It happened within the last five minutes.

IMO No, No, No. Absolutely not. Slower than molasses. Beautiful warnings and database errors liking and trying to post, PC makes no difference.

And yet, here we all are! loyal through it all...

GRRR... Can't even post THIS. Lovely database error message.

Sigh...

I noticed that you posted on the Aretha Franklin thread a while ago and waited a full 6 minutes for the page to load so I could "like" your post. Loyal Websleuths fan, yes

You are right! I’ve been sighing all morning

Why not shut the forum down for 'maintenance' while making the changes as it's all but useless for users today?

Yep, I just got the same error simply logging in to the main homepage Websleuths.com.
I'm on a DELL Desktop PC, Chrome -
An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later.

Not many online right now, so perhaps lots of others are also having problems and are waiting until all (or most) problems are fixed.

If anything the thread should be shut down.

I do not know how many times I have to say it but

Things are being worked on.

I think we all appreciate that, but we don't really have any way of knowing whether our problems are due to work or something unrelated y'all haven't figured out yet.

My history tab disappeared a few minutes ago. I’m on an iPhone 7. I have a feeling it’s part of what you’re working on but wanted to let you know in case it isn’t.

 

[WS Admin]

I have removed History, similar threads as well as the recent threads/posts in the sidebar. At this time I cannot say what of these items will return.

Suglo, thank you for posting this.

To the people that feel the need to post "me too" type posts, do what you wish and I will continue to quit what I am actually doing so I can read them.

Good to know. The site is back to working well for me. Thanks so much.

So do you want the problems reported or not while it is being worked on? We just need to be told to come offline if that is the issue. Atm posters are reporting slowness and continuing problems while it is being worked on.

Trying to be helpful, here. Shut the whole shebang down if user input is going to be this stressful for you.

Although the error message is the same (Me Too!), I thought that you wanted to know what the user was attempting to do, as well as the device being used, and the browser name - which is different than the original poster.
You now don't want this detailed information?

Is there a way to view Recent Threads (really, Recently Created Threads)? I used that often. Didn’t need it on every page but if there is a way to get there from the home page or something, please let me know how.

I agree that having them on every page was unnecessary, but an alternate place to go to find them would be great.

Thank you!

History gone .... the thread I use most.

I often use my browser history so you may want to try that while the WS history is down.

Please re-enable History and the Sidebar. These are my #1 and #2 ways of navigation on Websleuths.

Thank you.

Thank you.

They are slowing the site down.

‘Recent thread’ along with the other right next to it, were mentioned for removal many times, as they were synonymous.

I don’t recall any request for ‘History’ to be pulled? It’s used by many and often on the site now due to trying to find threads overall. Watched and Unwatched are a nuisance, just an additional step to getting to our threads. For that reason alone History is productive. IMO
