Same here. On PC/Chrome and iPhone/Safari. Very annoying. |
Getting kind of tired of cut/pasting every post into Notepad because there's only a 50% chance the posts/edits will work.

Add me to the frustrated list. So annoying,on my iphone and also on laptop with Chrome.

Report “Database Error” incidents here
This issue just started this morning. When I click on my flyertalk link it gives me a database error. I can click again and it will eventually let me on the site. Once in, clicking on various threads and/or my favorites also, sometimes, gets this error. Was there a change to FT over night?
|
LOL, actually posting the above post caused the error page to show up.

I also see the CloudFlare prompt, and for a while I kept getting the "Database error" screen instead of getting the forum pages after the CloudFlare check.

I've experienced it myself. I sent a note to [MENTION=359244]IBobi[/MENTION].

There is some database instability this morning (PDT); it has been reported to Internet Brands. Database instability is occasionally a precursor to a crash and temporary suspension of service. It can be caused by external factors, such as a Distributed Denial of Service attack. (In that case, you maybget a Cloudflare intercept while it’s fighting the attack; this may result in a redirect to another page than the one you were on.)
If you are posting anything, be sure to select all and copy to save the information and post again if you get a database error when attempting to save the post data. Thank you for reporting this. JDiver, Co-Moderator |
We are under a DDoS (Distributed Denial Of Service) attack; this has been reported to Admin.
For the moment, if you are replying to a post or adding a post, select and copy your post content prior to saving so you won’t lose your work should you get a Database Error call, or redirected to the FT front page by Cloudflare, when you try to save the post. JDiver, Co-Moderator P.S. Non-contributive, disruptive or off topic posts will be deleted, as standard policy. |
add me to the list
both the "5 seconds" thing and lots of database errors. |
Tech is working on this. Thank you for your patience, everyone.
|
We've had tech working on it for about an hour or two, thanks for the head's up!
|
Nothing we can do about this one, folks. It'll stop when the attack ends.
Just FYI, we pay Cloudflare a lot of $ to keep the site up during these attacks. They're our protector. |
Checking your browser before accessing FT
Twice today I got a page I've never seen before: "Checking your browser before accessing flyertalk.com" "This process may take...." I've never seen this before and I was using my usual iPadPro with Safari. It happened once on a wifi network that's been giving me trouble today (but which I have used in the past) and now again using my iPhone as a personal hotspot. What does it mean and what is FT doing to "check" my browser? |
