I can confirm I had the same this morning CET. Whenever the forum tried to open a thread etc the database returned an unknown error. Happened on mobile (safari) and PC (chrome / Firefox) def not a local issue but server side.

In Europe the same issue, now solved, i think its at the hosting provider side, not at the client side.

I'm getting it again this morning.

Can confirm:

I was on my PC this morning and had a closer look from the frontend:
Checking the Dev console, I can see an additional error

<!-- MySQL query error [1]: Can't create/write to file '/var/tmp/#sql_252b_11.MAI' (Errcode: 28) -->

You are running out of space: The temp files were unable to be created due to a lack of space in /var/tmp

EDIT: this matches the symptoms, attachment upload not working etc. I just tried uploading a small image in a post and it just fails. These two attachments took multiple attempts. Something is filling up temp or diskspace is just not sufficient.

I am also having this issue with just browsing the website.

Same here. Happens over and over again.

I'm on it guys, we are running low on disk space again. New drives will be installed ASAP.

Shouldn't there be a limit for video size? Some posts reach hundreds of megabytes...?

We have limited the post count from 15 to 10.
We're victims of our own success it seems.

There's already a 30 MB limit for videos. Anything beyond that has to be hosted off site

I'm european and every morning it's:

An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later.

 

[eric69]

The site has become unusable during the morning, only allowing access in fits and starts.

 

[Pisqui]

Same problem here from Europe right now

Gotta give it time guys.

A server update takes a few days, and is expensive (something that only admin / Forum Founder pays for out of his pocket).
