Chat appears to be down

When I tried logging into the chat room tonight, I keep getting a "database error" message.

Is this temporary, has anyone else experienced this problem?

Here's a copy of the message I get that pops into the Chat Window. The rest of the page is normal, and shows me logged in. I've tried opening it in a New Tab, and New Window with the same result.

image.php?type=dberror 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.lapbandtalk.com home page, then try to open another page.
  • Click the Back button to try another link.

The www.lapbandtalk.com forum technical staff have been notified of the error, though you may contact them if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

I know. I am bummed. It said to try to log in from the lap band site but I got the same message there too.

Sorry I missed this last night - wasn't even on the site as I didn't get home until 8:30 and was in bed at 9:30 -- can't adjust to this "fall back" timing - must be getting "old"!

Anyway, I sent a message to Alex so hopefully he'll either reply or fix the issue -- you both will have the opportunity to check it out before I get home tonight - let me know!

thank you Alex. We appreciate how hard you work to make this a good site.

Chat won't open for me again today or last night. It acts like it's going to load, and then it says "Logging in now", well it never logs me in.

I've tried shutting down, rebooting, opening in a new tab, and even a new window. Nothing seems to be working. Just thought I'd post again to see if anyone else is having an issue.

I heard back from Ken, he said he should have the issues resolved shortly.

Me too! I hope it fixed soon. I

don't like this!
