Title: "Database Error" message
Post by: Spelk on Monday 23 February 26 18:20 GMT (UK): Since yesterday I have had some trouble navigating around this site.
If I click on The link "Forum" above or "General" or "RootsChat.Com I get this screen.

It also comes up when I click on some topics but I do not see any pattern in that. Anyone else had this issue?

Post by: Spelk on Monday 23 February 26 19:17 GMT (UK): Thanks for the replies. I'll just wait for it to be fixed then as it is not something wrong with my equipment.

I hit refresh a few times and it eventually gets me in.

Post by: Jebber on Tuesday 24 February 26 22:54 GMT (UK): I have had the same problem, it happened a couple of times yesterday but on the second attempt each time everything worked as normal. Today I have tried countless times and this is the first time I have managed to get back in.🤞 that it now sorted, I was beginning to get withdrawal symptoms :)
