Database error message
During this session, about every other forum I go to, using the drop-down box at the bottom of the page, gives me this database error message:
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.flyertalk.com home page, then try to open another page.
•Click the Back button to try another link.
The www.flyertalk.com forum technical staff have been notified of the error, though you may contact them if the problem persists.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
Refreshing works, but it's annoying to have this extra step. By the way, "apologise" should be "apologize."

Is system maintenance still ongoing now?
Almost every click on threads or submission of replies/RBPs brings me the data base error message. It also happened when I tried to log in onto FT. 
For me, it started about 5 minutes ago. I thought the maintenance was over hours ago.
Is FT back to normal yet?
ps. I had to try three times to submit this reply due to data base error.

At least we're getting a pretty FT icon now.
The mobile site seems to be working okay though.

Yo IB, you broked the DB, it is giving errors.
This isn't maintenance, and I was about to get the real error when it worked again last time.

Apologise is the British spelling, and vBulletin was initially built and developed out of England.

Not Again!
It just happened and keeps happening to me, starting about 4 minutes ago.
ps. had to try 6 times to submit this post.
pps. I guess "database error" now has a new meaning on FT. Meaning it's very likely your post/s will go through even when the system says database error. The series of posts by cblaisd & me in thread are the evidence.
