[Jim Robinson]

There is a problem with the database and it's causing the posting program to crash before the entire record is written. We hope to have it fixed soon.

Is the computer plugged in? Have you tried rebooting?

Duplicate thread..

[miele man]

OK. Thanks. Appreciate the heads-up.

Keep at it, J-Ro. It's Ramadan, I think; I kid you not, we always notice spiritual problems around Ramadan.

[Dog]

Have to admit that was funny...not being able to post.

[proxy_user]

My sympathies.

These problems are usually something dumb, like a filesystem out of space, or a database timing out on an insert because of index fragmentation. If it's happened before, you know right where to look, but if you don't know it's baffling.

Interesting - but as long as it only truncates crappy posts from known lunatics I don't have a pro

[CAluvdubya]

Darn, and I really wanted to respond to the umpteenth "What does Zot mean?" thread.

[TomGuy]

Tried it. Didn't work, either.

[OSHA]

ZOT!

Able Danger Alert.

[stockpirate]

Did you try the foot pedal thingie?

Or remove the coffee cup from that holder in the front.:-)

[Petronski]

O goodness! Please tell me this won't affect the Official Friday Silliness Thread!

[P.O.E.]

On the bright side, fewer vanity posts and zots.

[Cyber Liberty]

Hey, thanks! I wouldn't want to do anything to overload the posting program by posting a reply to your thread, ok?

[BykrBayb]

Did you try unplugging the modem, counting to ten, and plugging it back in?

Mine has two coffee cup holders, but it's a poor design. One is right above the other, so I can only use one at a time.

I usually smack the server upside the CPU at times like this....

Don't forget to clean your dust filters too!!!

[CJ Wolf]

While your at it. Can someone add 'zot' to the FR spellchecker?

[FrogMom]

Simply reverse the polarity!

Always works on TNG, doesn't it?

When all else fails, read the instructions!

Doh! The bottom one is for the donut.

The Zotellites are still online with the kitties on standby.

[Nita Nupress]

Is there a support group for this?

[Right Wing Assault]

And if that doesn't work, let's format the hard drives and reinstall everything!

[SirChas]

What database are we on here? Oracle MySQL etc...?

Ok...will you have the young lady with the allergy please leave. She is distracting the repairmen!!

What good does that do? Stay with the old tried and true method of swinging a dead chicken over the modem 13 times while playing the theme music from "The Exorcist".

[BykrBayb]

Thanks. All this time I thought the bottom one was for Coffee, Dark - Rich Or Mild. The top one seems to be for Decaffeinated Very Dark. At least that's what the initials would seem to suggest (CD-ROM & DVD).

"And if that doesn't work, let's format the hard drives and reinstall everything!"

The standard reply, in clipped English, after calling technical support and talking to a techie with an unpronounceable name.

[Right Wing Assault]

Spiritual problems! That's it. Allah's revenge for all the muzzie remarks.

[SmithL]

Please tell me this won't affect the Official Friday Silliness Thread!

It looks like we have a head start on it.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Away thee, database gremlins!

There's always smoke signals if things get really bad...

[beezdotcom]

Sounds like a stuned beeber...good luck.

[Purrcival]

"Is the computer plugged in? Have you tried rebooting?"

What, are you some Helpless Desk specialist in India with an Americanized name, reading from a troubleshooting script?

Just kidding.... :D

[SeaBiscuit]

Thanks for the info. Maybe the Flux Capacitor isn't fluxing?

[Texican]

The answer to all of the problems is DOS 3.1. Ahhhh the "good old days".

Good evening and the very best to you and yours.

[Jim Robinson]

That's the whole problem. It's all fluxed up.

[BykrBayb]

And if that doesn't work, let's format the hard drives and reinstall everything!

Okay, just give me a minute to put my setup disk in the cup holder. Then count down from three, so we can all start together.

[Colonial Warrior]

Hmmmm...the hard drives seems soft...quick...hand me the Viagra spray!!

[Jim Robinson]

"And if that doesn't work, let's format the hard drives and reinstall everything!"

Hey, now there's a thought. Great way to get rid of all those embarrassing posts.

[maui_hawaii]
