Chat appears to be down

[Tiffykins 673]

When I tried logging into the chat room tonight, I keep getting a "database error" message.

Is this temporary, has anyone else experienced this problem?

Here's a copy of the message I get that pops into the Chat Window. The rest of the page is normal, and shows me logged in. I've tried opening it in a New Tab, and New Window with the same result.

Database error The database has encountered a problem. Please try the following:

• Load the page again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.
  
• Open the www.lapbandtalk.com home page, then try to open another page.
  
• Click the Back button to try another link.
  

The www.lapbandtalk.com forum technical staff have been notified of the error, though you may contact them if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

I can't get in

I know. I am bummed. It said to try to log in from the lap band site but I got the same message there too.

Sorry I missed this last night - wasn't even on the site as I didn't get home until 8:30 and was in bed at 9:30 -- can't adjust to this "fall back" timing - must be getting "old"!

Anyway, I sent a message to Alex so hopefully he'll either reply or fix the issue -- you both will have the opportunity to check it out before I get home tonight - let me know!

We're working on the issue, thanks for letting me know about it.

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

thank you Alex. We appreciate how hard you work to make this a good site.

I haven't been able to get into chat for last two days--anyone else having trouble?

[Tiffykins 673]

I couldn't get in last night either Norma. It just kept said "Connecting" then it would freeze up.

[Malaika 50]

Thanks Tiff, I'll let Alex know.

Chat won't open for me again today or last night. It acts like it's going to load, and then it says "Logging in now", well it never logs me in.

I've tried shutting down, rebooting, opening in a new tab, and even a new window. Nothing seems to be working. Just thought I'd post again to see if anyone else is having an issue.

I have notified Ken about the problems.

[*susan* 1,709]

I heard back from Ken, he said he should have the issues resolved shortly.

[Tiffykins 673]

Thanks Susan, and extend my gratitude to Ken for fixing chat for us.

You are welcome, and I will!
