Can we please change this..

There seems to have been a slight problem with the database.
Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.

An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.


To this?

There seems to have been a really freaking big problem with the database.
Don't bother pressing the refresh button in your browser, it won't matter.

An E-Mail has not been dispatched to our Technical Staff because we'd get thousands of useless e-mails a day if that were the case.

We apologise for any inconvenience and our inability to spell.


Thanks!

MySQL is fast, but it doesn't scale. You can drop it on a 8 way box and it runs about 2x faster than on a single CPU box. That's why I like postgres. Ironic since my screen name is mysql...

I read it most of that thread, I just didn't find it as entertaining as my suggestion.

At 5:10am Central time, it does that for 10 minutes. It does it every morning without fail. It does it at other times of the day, but not nearly as long.

^ Since it's a form submission, you should be able to hit reload in your browser. It'll ask you if you want to repost the form values again, hit yes. Randomly do that till it goes through.

In FF, I can also just hit back arrow and my post remains there for me to submit again.

postgres rock


Are most of these problems just from people messing with updates/backups/ etc...?

Are these hardware based?

If they are configuration or software based, I help my roomate run www.cellphoneforums.net which is one of the largest cellphone forum sites out there. My profession is system administrator and software development,

so if an admin needs a second opinion on a problem i would be willing to help out?

Admins please please feel free to email or PM me

I really think we should change it to something like this:

We're sorry for the inconvenience, but the word "Crossfire" has already been posted too many times today and the server is now angry. Please wait a moment while the server vents its rage by annoying you with obnoxious message.

Have a nice day and please, do not hit the refresh button or try again later.
